Reviews

I've worked with Silvermoonx over at the LGPedia so I know how much potential he has. He's been a really helpful editor there, and I'm glad he's planning to get more involved here. I have a couple of suggestions for improvement:
  • You probably want to avoid making jokes like this. I don't think you meant anything unkind by the comment, but I can see how people could be upset by the remark. Whenever you're talking about a controversial personal issue like race or gender or sexuality you want to be super careful not to hurt anyone's feelings.
  • Images on Wikipedia are really complicated. (It was easy at the LGPedia, because they told us we could use their screen shots.) But here there are a lot of confusing rules about Wikipedia:Copyrights. In general, if you don't know the copyright status of an image, like with Image:Lonelygirl15CastSeason1.jpg, you might want to ask an administrator before you upload the image whether or not it's okay.
  • If you click "my preferences" and click the tab for "editing" there's a box called "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary." It's a good idea to always include a brief edit summary explaining your edits, even when they're minor or on a talk page.
  • The number one thing is just more editing practice. I always think that the best editors are those who are good at following wikipedia's guidelines on citing sources.
You're off to a good start, Silver! And if you ever need help with anything, feel free to ask at my talk page. --JayHenry 20:57, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    Just to be clear, about two years ago, I had the username of User:SatanxSucks, which was banned due to religious reasons. If you would like to review those edits as well, go ahead. As for the answer to this question, I have worked a lot on wikifying band discography pages such as the section on Newsboys and Dir en grey discography. Also, I have worked on That's So Raven character pages, and if there is a grammar/punctuation mistake, I always click the "edit" button.
  2. 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 not been in that many edit conflicts, and when I am, I try to resolve the conflict and if the other user was working on something, I will wait until they are done, and I will edit another article. Once, another user was editing Cory Baxter at the same time that I was, and I just backed off.
