Wikipedia:Editor review/Tabun1015

Tabun1015

Tabun1015 (talk · contribs) I just wanted an opinion or two as to my edits, and ideas for different tasks to do that I may not have considered. Although I have had an account for a long time, I only casually edit on Wikipedia, and have no intention of becoming an administrator. Please focus on my most recent edits. My earliest ones were a ways back when I was new to Wikipedia and rather dorky Tabun1015 00:00, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Reviews

• Just briefly, its useful to editos reviewing edits if you use the this is a minor edit button if it is a small edit. Sabine's Sunbird talk 00:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
• Looking at the article you created on Medieval ships I'd suggest alternating the images left and right to prevent the huge white spaces. Have you checked out Wikipedia:Picture tutorial. Sabine's Sunbird talk 00:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

• Review - You have a useful knack of starting stubs that clearly fill a need, like Opus Majus & Medieval ships (the fashion too, though that was a clear gap). I think you should aim to take them further yourself - as you have done with the ships - I know with the fashion you didn't get much chance!. For example Morion has no references, and also is not covered or linked to at helmet (an article it would be easy to improve on the historical side). When I start an article I typically add text & links (where relevant & appropriate) to about 5 other articles, tying it in to them. Apart from anything else it means your article will be read more. There must be loads of scope for this at medieval shipping (my mistake - but eg this should also be a redirect).

One thing I don't think you have done, which I think it would be a good idea to develop your editing skills, is to take a reasonably long & old ,but weak (in parts), article with on a subject that interests you, with some editors involved & to try to really improve it where it's weak - actually helmet could be an example. The reaction of other editors is an essential part of WP, though of course very unpredictable. There are tons of articles on WP that are really patchy, and existing editors are often used to this, or unaware of it.

You are now doing more on a regular basis, which is great. In general I think you are doing a very good job & are probably pretty well aware of where you can develop your skills. Edit summaries are good. It's a good idea to look around WP:AfD, WP:CfD & policy stuff a little - AfD in particular. They all broaden the view of WP. Keep it up & enjoy yourself!

Questions

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

   I recently started the articles Medieval ships and 1300-1400 in fashion, which I must say I'm fairly proud of, along with other articles that I've recently created (the older ones that I created I'm only lukewarm to). The article Opus Majus, which I started, was recently featured in the Did You Know section.

3. 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?

   I have had no stress or conflicts with other editors that are worth mentioning. I only edit casually in my free time, so I try to be as low stress as I can.

5. What are the most administrator-like duties which you perform now? The Transhumanist   21:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

   Generally spelling and grammar correction, and putting in templates from Wikipedia:Template messages where appropriate. I may start doing Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol (as I said before, I have no intention of becoming an administrator, at least for the foreseeable future)

7. What wiki-skills would you like to acquire? The Transhumanist   04:43, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

   The most advanced editing skills that I can get, and a thorough knowledge of Wikipedia policy (especially copyright issues, such as how to determine "fair use" material.)

9. What areas do you feel you need the most improvement? The Transhumanist   04:43, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

   In depth researching of information for articles and knowing what non-text materials can be added to Wikipedia, such as images and other media (this goes hand in hand with learning more about copyright)

11. As an editor, what are your goals on Wikipedia. When all is said and done, what will you want to have contributed to Wikipedia? The Transhumanist   04:43, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

    In short, anything I can. Like I said, I'm just a casual editor, so I just want to contribute whatever I can to this project.
