User:Kaobear

Kaobear (talk · contribs) I just want to make sure that i am doing the right thing. I have been doing a great many small edits as of late, both for tweaks and vandal fighting and I want to see what I can do to help more. KaoBear^(talk) 19:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Reviews

• Hellow, Kaobear. Here is my review, hopefully you will be able to get some good ideas and comments.

  • First of all, some editors may consider your signature a little too long, see the guideline to learn more about that.
  • When uploading images, consider adding a fair use rationale to justify its usage, you have gotten one image deleted because of lack of copyright information, source or fair use rationale.
  • Regarding Image:CardinalDarmaatmadja.jpg, is it truly licensed that way? Who took the picture? From where it was taken? Was it cropped from a bigger image? Which license had the original image? I would tag it with {{PUIdisputed}}, as I don't think it is a free image. Please review its license and source information.
  • I noticed User:Kaobear/Watchlists/MiddleEarth Realted was a typo which you corrected. When this happens, you may consider deleting pages you don't need in your userspace with {{db-owner}}.
  • Most of your contributions are marked as minor. When you mark a change as minor, some users won't see it in their watchlist, as there is an option that allows user to hide minor modifications. Please consider not marking reverts and talk warnings as minor, as they are usually serious and should always been visible.
  • Almost a third of your edits is in talk pages (58 user talk edits, and over 570 in article talk pages). It is good to see you spend so much time talking with others in article talk pages, most editors don't do that. Hopefully you have learned to interact with them and lead efforts in order to build a better Wikipedia.

  With 60 edits in Wikipedia namespace, it seems you are beginning to test what is happening "above" the article level. As you spend time in Wikipedia, you will learn one must share time between the article, the user and the Wikipedia namespace. I see you still focus on improving articles, what about trying to give a hand Featured article review. There are articles that are featured, but with time may lose their condition. In a review, editors decide whether the article is having problem, if they can be solved, and if they can retain their featured article. If you want to focus your clean up edits, you could give a hand there, as many of those articles have been featured one or two years ago and lack now an active editor to clean them up. You can also consider participating in some articles for deletion, as sending some articles there can save time from other editors into trying to wikify and clean up them. Overall, you are a pretty good user, however try not to mark your edits as minor unless they are really minor. Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 21:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Questions

1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

   I have put forth a great deal of time and effort into making the Faramir article in a candidate for FA status. I love Tolkien and am honored to help improve the pages involved with him and his great works.

2. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

   As far as I know I have not been in any conflicts. I have made mistakes, been corrected and thanked the editor for the guidance.
