Wikipedia:Editor review/Sp33dyphil
Sp33dyphil (talk · contribs · count) Hello, I'm Sp33dyphil and I'm looking for peer review because I would like to know how contructive my edits have been during the last 6 months. My signature has a phrase at the end that indicates I'm lloking for feedback, but that hasn't happened yet. So, that's why I'm here, looking for all the feedbacks, including negative points, in order to keep up my work on Wikipedia.

Questions
- What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
- My specialty is aviation and Australian rules football. I also edit biographies.
- Have you been in any disputes 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?
- I haven't had any disputes with any editor, since most of my edits these days are articles.
Reviews
- Review by VictorianMutant:
- Civility towards the community: As you said , no problems here. Your use of edit summaries as impressive and that helps other editors out tremendously.
- Article contributions: I see footy and airline articles are your focus. If that's your niche than go for it!!! Seems like you've done a good job with a large number of articles.
- Edit count analysis: Wow, a higher percentage of edits in article space than me (85%). That impresses me. Some of the AfD crowd (if you are interested in that) would tell you that you need to broaden your wiki experience and I won't argue with that. You could use some more experience with templates and categories.
- RfA-worthiness: I would support you in RfA, but there are those who would say you don't do enough vandal fighting and aren't experienced in various other areas of Wikipedia, plus 2000 edits would be too low for many people.
- Final thoughts: Normally, I think many users do too much vandal fighting- it shouldn't make up the bulk of a user's edits, but in your case I would try to fight vandals more often. Why? Most vandals are ugly Americans (and I say that as an American) and since you live in Australia, your evenings occur during the second big "vandal wave" (when only drunks and stoners are awake and decide to vandalize pages- the first is when the American kiddies vandalize at school). So you have the opportunity to help fight vandalism when vandal fighters aren't as active, but vandals are. In any case, keep up the great work. You are an asset to the community. Thank you.
