Wikipedia:Editor review/Rodzilla

User:Rodzilla[edit]

Rodzilla (talk · contribs) I've been editing wikipedia for a few years now, but wasn't a full member until about a year ago. I didn't begin contributing heavily until the last few weeks, and feel that I have made some significant contributions. However, as I am still new to a lot of the template usage, policies, and other features of wikipedia, I feel that a user review will help correct mistakes I may be making now before they become habit or more widespread, and will help me develop better editing habits.

Reviews

It's always good to see someone I can identify as an "old-timer," even if you haven't really been here that much longer than I have (I joined around the same time as you, but only began editing in the last few months). Your edit count is a very low one for someone who's been here as long as you have, but that's nothing bad: since you're a fellow WP:CVG member, though, I highly recommend you involving yourself in voting on CVG deletions, as a good way to get to know more about Wikipedia's inclusion policies (among other things). You could also try your hand !voting at WP:RFA or patrolling recent changes, since either of those activities could go a long way to teaching you about Wikipedia policy. Aside from that, the work you've done looks very reasonable, which indicates that you're off to a good start. Good luck, and happy editing!

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. Anyone else? Surely more than one person has something to say. --Rodzilla 15:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, there aren't many of us that contribute regularly to editor reviews. I'd suggest you place a "review me!" link in your signature (found in "my preferences", above), as I did with mine, or else ask one or two previous reviewers on their talk pages (I'd recommend someone like User:Computerjoe, but he seems quite busy these days).

You look like you're doing great. I especially like the way you use gentler warnings for first-time vandals, especially those who may be testing or may have just had an accident. I'd recommend getting involved in Articles for deletion discussions to become familiar with policy. Upload an image or two; more are always necessary. :) Keep up the good work and please let me know if you need anything!! Srose (talk) 17:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- Serious Sam 2 - This was the first article I created, just after joining. I learned a lot of the basics during the creation of this, and while it needs a bit of work, it's held up over the past year.
- Unreal Tournament 2007 - The article was a decent sized mess when I found it. I feel that while my changes may have been visibly minor (in that a lot were adding citations), they increased the reliability of the article as a valid source greatly.
- Big Chicken - How would this article even make sense without a picture?
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?
One of the first things I did under this user was add the picture to the Big Chicken page. It was deleted almost instantly, which was somewhat annoying, but I took note of the reason and corrected the issues with it (it was missing copyright information). Since then I've had no real issues, and have used talk pages to discuss any questions or concerns. In any issues I may have in the future, I will draw upon my 6 years of experience in moderating large forums, including the forums I currently administer.
