ZabMilenko (talk · contribs · count) By requesting a review, I hope to find out which areas I can improve in relation to the WikiPedia policies. Within the next month or two I intend on pursuing a WP:RFA and if there are any glaring problems with WP:COI or WP:CIVIL I would certainly want to work on them. ZabMilenko 01:20, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Reviews
Hey, I thought I'd give you a review, since I've seen you on RFA. Your edits seem fine, and they are well sread out, the bulk being in articles, which is good. My advice, if you fancy RFA, is get another few edits under your belt, maybe up to 4,000, to make sure you have enoug. I see you already have a GA you contributed too here which I really like! (they always look good, heh!). Regarding your run in, don't worry, I think we have all done that, I know I have, and I can't see any big problems. I guess, just take a little more care and time to review each edit as it comes, which I am glad to see you working on. Further regarding your RFA, give it another month or two, as many pople like to see at least 4 months of conributions. With your AFD mentioned, I agree there, and the result was what you said (so you are better than me with my AFD's! :D) Overall, you are a good editor who has really good intentions. Good luck and Happy editing. Overall score: 9 out of 10.--AtheWeatherman 18:24, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
Questions
- What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
- I am a practicing WikiSloth so my contributions are all over WikiPedia and intermittently spread over the last four years or so. I cannot cite a particular contribution which "pleases" me but I am kind of happy with how Medford, Oregon is turning out. There are lots of other things that I have to credit to the WikiProject Oregon folks just as much as I.
- 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 had quite an awakening with an undo by Glycoform (talk · contribs). At first I assumed he was assuming bad faith but then I realized a mistake I had made. Taking the time to see the other argument is something I am working on. It is hard to say what the future holds but I would prefer to be the type of person who checks the facts thoroughly before responding.
- Why do you need to delete articles? (question by BenderRobot (talk · contribs))
- Thank you for the question! (I am assuming it has nothing to do with this afd). Even though it may sound canned, I believe articles need to be deleted when they violate policy in a way that is unrepairable (including the history). I have learned that articles for deletion is not the end so I am less concerned about deletionism than I used to be. However, since fresh content is provided often by fresh faces, I think in iffy cases deletion should be put off for a few days at least, so the newbies don't get bitten.
- (optional) Why do you want to become an Admin? --AtheWeatherman 18:24, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
- The short answer is that I want to be able to edit protected pages and templates without having to wait. A longer answer would include me be a bit tired of waiting for G12s to get cleaned. Little things pop up all over the place, including a desire to look at deleted contribs and pages to get further info in RfAs, and one time I participated in an WP:AFC where G6 was necessary to finish it. There is no single thing other than four years of randomly needing an admin for something. Their work is chronically backlogged; I could fruitlessly complain, or I could help out by not impacting that backlog wherever I can avoid it. ZabMilenkoHow am I driving? 05:48, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I like that answer. AtheWeatherman 07:59, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
