User:BigHaz

BigHaz (talk • contribs) I've been knocking around here since 2004 (and more seriously since around the start of this year) and think I've got the hang of things, but I'd be interested to know what everyone else thinks. Don't spare my feelings or anything, by any means! BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Reviews

  • 3400+ edits and two years' experience are nothing to be sniffed at, and I'm guessing you know your stuff from all that. You should definitely use edit summaries as much as possible, though - on every edit, if you can - since they make life so much easier for everybody (and will definitely count in peoples' opinions of you if you ever run for adminship). You seem to be getting into the hang of it, but definitely aim to use them at least 90% of the time. Aside from that, you appear to make a lot of relatively minor edits to the article space, which of course don't result in much discussion on their talk pages: you might like to try making a smaller number of major contributions, if you can, after discussing them on the talk pages. These are particularly easy to make to stubs that interest you, which can be easily found through any WikiProject you choose to join. Aside from that, you're obviously a good editor, and doing very well overall. :) Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 08:25, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
  • You're on my hit-list User:Blnguyen/RfA - good solid article contribs, wrote many articles in Category:Eurovision songs and writes detailed comments on AfD for quality debate. Contributes a lot to DYK. Great user, and is always friendly. The use of edit summaries is increasing. Keep it up.Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 07:01, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    When I came to them, the articles on Norfolk Island, All Aussie Adventures, Kommissar Rex and Victor and Hugo were either in poor condition or nonexistent, so I'm really pleased at the way they've grown (particularly the first in that list). More recently, the Great Big Eurovision Song Project is something I'm really pleased with - writeups of every Eurovision entry, which is still very much an ongoing labour of love.
  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 can't really think of any major conflicts (at least not with the angst that usually attaches to the term), but recently there was the issue with User:Rudi Dierick and his sock puppet User:Lucas Richards on what is now the article List of prosecuted Turkish writers. In that situation, I kept doing what I felt to be the right thing (removing links which didn't do what they were claimed to do, trying desperately to make the article more neutral, warning the sock when he accused me of vandalism) and ultimately brought an admin in on it, which will remain my choice of action in future. I've also recently had my userpage vandalised by User:ChibiWong, who wasn't too pleased that someone who went to the same school as he did wanted his article deleted. Again, I warned the user and mentioned it to an admin (although nothing serious was happening). In a perverse way, I guess that's a rite of passage, rather than something to be stressed about.
