[edit] User:Ryanpostlethwaite

Ryanpostlethwaite (talk • contribs) I would like a review because my talk page has been taking a hammering in the past few days with IP's and new users complaining about their pages being deleted, it has accumulated with me having to get my userpage blocked due to vandilism and my wikiname appearing on this forum (see all pages to see pictures of me that someone has posted) due to the fact that I had an article speedied (Rock Slope). The main reason for this review is to ascertain if I am doing anything wrong to get all this abuse. Obviously, at the min I'm not looking to be an admin, but I would in the future and I don't want old edits coming out to haunt me. Many thanksRyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 14:23, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Reviews

• You don't need to worry, you did nothing wrong and you followed policy. Most people on that forum appear to be on your side anyway. Don't worry about the random IP attacks, they will go away in a while and RFA voters dig battle scars (j/k). In some cases when you new page patrol you will make a mistake and will be blasted for it by the creators. Don't let them get to you, people make mistakes and oftentimes things are added after the tagging that make the page notable. If you get questioned about some deleted pages/tagged pages on RFA just explain your reasoning and solve the problem. You will get better with practice. You use edits summaries well and work on a wide variety of topics in Wikipedia; that is good. Some of your answers could be elaborated on. Keep up the good work!

• As a little afterthought based on some of your recent edits you should subst: most of your templates and remove _ from internal links. Nothing major. Philip Gronowski ^Contribs 01:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

• Many thanks for that! I actually didn't know you could do that. I'll try and do that in the future RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 01:58, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Questions

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

   I am mostly pleased with my new page patrolling, I feel that this is invavluable for wikipedia keeping its reputation as being a quality encyclopedia

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?

   See my user page history for most conflicts, this is the major reason for requesting a review. Also see Talk:Death By Gluten

3. Talk:Death By Gluten has been deleted, can you give some history or link to other discussions? delldot | talk 17:13, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

   Of course I can, it will probably been easier if I give you another discussion page that has got a bit heated. You can see a lot on my userpage, also Talk:Rock_Slope RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 17:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
