[edit] User:Computerjoe

Computerjoe (talk • contribs) I created this page, due to various failed RfAs I've had! I'm just wanting some feedback. I make a lot of edits in the Main, User Talk, Wikipedia and Wikipedia Talk namespaces. I'm trying to expand my edits in the Talk namespace. Another more feedback?

Reviews

• Very good contributor, definately; well rounded, too. I say keep up the good work, and if you want, I'd gladly nominate you for adminship (if the appropriate amount of time has passed since your last one though). _-M ^o P-_ 01:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

• While the previous RfA were probably premature, I think that Computerjoe is now a solid contributor and a good editor. I have always found him to be a very nice and civil person. When it's needed (as in various disputes), he can also be firm and steady (but also flexible). I think he could attempt another RfA within a month or two and I'd also be glad to nominate him.

• I'm surprised this joe ain't already an admin! Awesome contributions with projects like ER and CJ! IMO, you should go for an RfA anytime after May 31st. I recommend abstaining from any temptation before then. Rama's Arrow 05:46, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

• I'll be happy to nominate for adminship again whenever you want. All looks well to me -- Samir (the scope) धर्म 01:15, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

• You're just waiting to be nominated. :) - Mailer Diablo 07:31, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

• Although it was done in good faith, creating Wikipedia:Community Justice was a mistake. Wikipedia is a project with a community, not a community with a project. We don't need more "social networking" pages in Wikipedia: space, because they're not helping to write Wikipedia. Also, if you think that adminship is something which comes automatically to all editors, and that this review is going to be a stepping-stone to that; don't. Admins are required to be cool, clueful, and know how to wield a LART when required. They also need to have a certain level of BOFH-ness when required (when dealing with vandals, trolls, POV-pushers, edit warriors and the like), hold a certain level of respect in the community (and especially amongst other admins), and think about the consequences of their actions. They should follow the spirit of the rules rather than the letter of the rules - because literalism never works as intended - and never question existing policies in the process of enforcing them.

• You'd have my support. AmiDaniel (talk) 18:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Questions

1. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

   Well Wikipedia:Editor review (obviously), Wikipedia:Community Justice is an organisation I founded. Also, I created Marske-by-the-Sea - which I believe has a lot of information!

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 mediated a dispute on Talk:Neopets and I got into a dispute when I offered advice to User:NoToFrauds as he was spamming many admins (which I am not). NoToFrauds then started making personal attacks.

3. You come across a new user who has lots of un-rationalised Fair use images on their userpages. What is your method of action? Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 16:38, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

   I would ask for the user for his/her rational and if the user cannot state any I'd probably use WP:IFD. Computerjoe's talk 16:41, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

   I foresee one problem with that: if the image is used in one or more articles, then IFD is not a good idea. (^_^) --日本穣 Nihonjoe 03:18, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

4. What do you think you bring to the Wikipedia community as a unique editor? Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 16:38, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

   I try to clear backlog, fight vandalism and generally be helpful. However, I'm known for my civility; which I keep at all times unlike many editors. I try to help fellow editors, too. Computerjoe's talk 16:41, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
