Reviews

  • Hello, GreaterWikiholic, and thank you for signing up for editor review. Let me first start off by saying that I regret that it has taken so long for someone to get to your editor review, we have a backlog here that I am trying to destroy. Secondly, I have reviewed you in depth, probably more than any other person here on editor review. This includes looking at your failed RfA. In that RfA, you were told that you should come here. I am going to try to help you build on the criticisms given to you at your RfA. Please understand that this review is not an attack on you, your editing skills, or your likes and dislikes; it is simply to help you. GreaterWikiholic, you started editing at 04:41, on 28 March 2007, about a month after I started editing. Since then, as of Mon Jun 18 22:57:17 2007 GMT, you have 1715 edits, distributed mostly between the usertalk, Wikipedia, and Main spaces. I will take the liberty of assuming that those usertalk edits are almost all welcoming new users. Here is where it might seem like an attack, but it's not. Remember, this is to help you. Edit the encyclopedia. You have 460 edits in Wikipedia space, but almost all of them are fun related. There is nothing wrong with fun, but please, please remember that the point of the project is to build an encyclopedia. Sometimes fun needs to be put on the back burner and hardcore, no-nonsense editing needs to take place. I respect what you have done over at the DoF, but if you plan on becoming an admin, please remember to edit the encyclopedia. Moreover, if you are planning on becoming an admin, I would recommend spending time in RfA/B and XfD. Next, rc patrolling is good, and I recommend you keep that up. I like your idea of keeping a word document with your often most used templates. That is an awesome idea. Please continue to spread wikilove, but also remember that there is a time to have fun and a time to do work. Editors want a nice admin, but they also want an admin that can take control and be serious. I have enjoyed taking the time to review you, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future. Wishes and cheers, --wpktsfs 23:30, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    What I believe are my best contributions are the edits that I enjoyed making. I am proud of all my contributions to the Wikipedia: Department of Fun, the Wikisongs, Wikipedia: Kindness Campaign contributions and especially my Recent Changes patrol. I contribute to the DoF for I believe it will make Wikipedia a more appealing place to be in, thus we have more editors that will stay here permenantly. The Wikisongs are intended to make Wikiholism something to be proud of so we'll have more editors who spend much of thier time contributing. I love working for the Kindness Campaign, I browse the recent changes section of Wikipedia, everytime I find a new user account, I send them a Welcome Message that can be seen below to show my kindness and promote Wikilove. I browse Wikipedia and click on completely random user talk pages and smile at them. Much of my evenings are spent on RC patrol. There I revert vandals, welcome new users and warn vandals. I created a text file on Microsoft Word where I copied and pasted warnings. I keep that text file open at all times during RC patrol and copy and paste appropiate warnings on the user talk pages of Vandals. I am a well liked Wikipedian because of my KC work and my DoF work and have made Wikipedia a warmer place to edit. GreaterWikiholic 00:27, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
  1. 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?
    When I first joined Wikipedia I was shocked and enraged by the actions of vandals. But over time, I got used to having people disagree with me and began reverting and warning vandals. If I were to get into a conflict in the future, I would give them KC Peace Doves with messages of forgiveness or requests for apologies. To those who are in conflicts, I give them smiles and purple stars.
