Bigtop (talk • contribs) I've been here in Wikipedia since January 2006, and I become fully operational starting on April 2006. I'm trying to be an administrator as I make very useful contributions (such as alternate links and information on pages). Bigtop (tk|cb|em|ea) 21:22, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Reviews

  • Sorry, but placing incorrect block notices is a sign of in experience. Also, instead of creating doppelganger accounts, try some RC patrol. Computerjoe's talk 07:02, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
  • The contributions you are listing (adding alternate links and information to pages) are contributions that you can make right now. Administrators (or janitors as many call them) have the extra abilities of page protection, user blocking, page deletion, and...well you can check out the whole list here. As for placing block notices, I think a lot of us assumed that we could just put on a template and a user would be blocked whenever we first came on Wikipedia. Anyway, hang in there bud, edit for a few more months. Try doing some RC patrol like Computerjoe is suggesting. Regards, Alphachimp talk 06:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    A: I'm pleased on creating doppelganger accounts (currently I made three, including two Jimbo Wales-related users) because I'm trying to reduce impersonation to new users. Impersonation has been a concern as users might not know who's the real user or administrator. Impersonation may include role account (such as a username named "Wikipedia Administrator"), duplicates of existing administrators and other usernames, and more. Recently, I moved several sections on SeaWorld San Diego and I moved it to List of SeaWorld San Diego attractions, shows, and restaurants because the article was a bit long and I want to keep the article short.
  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?
    A: I have been recently felt stressed by other users because I did not know I was a "vandalism-only account." I'm not a vandalism-only account, since I don't come here for vandalism. One example happened on July 9, 2006. I made an impostor tag to a Jimbo Wales imposter, and I did not know when I went to my talk page, I was blocked indefinitely. However, I was innocent - I was just tagging an impostor tag, not creating a vandal-only account! So then, I requested to be unblocked because I did not do anything wrong - I just only tagged an impostor, so then an administrator unblocked me. Starting now, I should watch pages when needed (such as watching most-vandalized pages) and I should add an edit description on what I edited.
