Derild4921 (talk · contribs · count) I've just hit 6000 edits and wanted some feedback. Last time I had a review was half a year ago when I just had reached 600 edits. Derild4921☼ 17:07, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Questions

1. What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?

   I'd say I'm quite balanced between content and maintained work, but I usually work with content. I've had three good articles so far. Into the Wild (Warriors), Warriors (novel series) and Tunnels (novel). Besides these articles I have a current GA nom Seekers (novel series) and other articles I helped improve which are listed here. My best article work I think is When You Reach Me which I started working on a month ago and hope to take to GA and then FA. Sometimes I work in new page patrol and CSD.

3. Have you been in editing disputes 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? If you have never been in an editing dispute, explain how you would respond to one.

   I haven't been in many disputes, but a big one happened at the article Tunnels (novel) when I had a be bold moment and completely rewrote the page. However, some inaccuracies were added in and the main editor of the previous version wanted the article back to their version which while more accurate was disorganized and full of fluff. Another editor helped to crease the folds and remove the inaccuracies. I admit it was a moment of being too bold and will not try to rewrite a page when a previous editor worked hard on the previous version. More information can be seen on the talk page.

Reviews

1. I see some concern with your CSDs at a quick glance, but I think you are a good-faith editor otherwise. Frozen Windwant to be chilly? 00:46, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
   1. That was not even a proper attempt at a review, I'm rehasing this. —Ancient Apparition • Champagne? • 2:48pm • 03:48, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

1. I enjoy working with you, but I don't have time for a full review. I just want to mention that you may wish to brush up your prose style. I admit that learning to write with great formal style takes time, but if you were to become more proficient at it, your GAs would probably pass more easily (and I would spend less time cleaning up after you ) Brambleclawx 22:36, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

   Yeah, I've tried to improve, but its hard. Before GA reviews I usually send it over to GOCE for a cleanup. Thanks! Derild4921Review Me! 18:40, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
