Reviews

The discussion you referenced at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pradip Somasundaran was one of the nastier AFDs I've seen, and I've seen several hundred. You mostly kept your cool, but it's not always necessary to place all your statements in bold. :) Also, someone accused you of having a sockpuppet; I don't know whether you did, but anyway you need to know the policy. It happened last August, and if that's the worst conflict in your wiki career, you have nothing to worry about. From your second answer, it seems that you've learned from the experience.

Other than that, my comments will be standard.

  • I'm curious why you have 600 mainspace edits, 600 Wikipedia-space edits, and 1000 user talk edits. It's great that you're friendly with other users, but don't let it become a distraction from improving the encyclopedia.
  • On the same note, the edit counter says you've never edited any article or template more than 8 times. Of course, sometimes you get it right the first time, but many times you need to look again and rewrite and improve your original work. You might consider spending more time on writing articles.
  • Your participation in AFD, RFA and vandal-fighting is noted. You're not nearly ready for adminship, but you're on track for that if it interests you.
  • I find your userpage confusing because most of the links (such as "tools") don't go anywhere. Of course, your userpage is mostly for yourself, but consider switching to (pardon the pun) a more user-friendly format.
  • I wish you luck with your mental health issues. I can sympathize. :) Obviously, such issues are an excuse to disappear from Wikipedia, but are not an excuse to disrupt Wikipedia - but I'm sure you know that already.
  • I was touched to see the picture of Jerusalem on your user talk page. I, too, hope for its restoration in the Messianic era.

I wish you good luck. YechielMan 00:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    I have not contributed in a major way to any Featured articles, but I do create quite a lot of templates. I created one for Sony, and another one is a template for List of Formula 1 champions. Also, I am now very active in creating articles for episodes of Frasier, which I am very well pleased.
  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?
    The major conflicts I have ever got into was this AFD. One was the [1] for Pradip Somasundaran. In this AFD I was dead sure of the fact that Pradip was non notable and even though references were provided, I still got into a edit war. After the article was kept, I apologised to User:Gluewhale and Jyothis, and I have very good relationship with them. The next time, I ever get inton a conflict or debate, I make sure that the article or the person's references are correct and I'll try to be as civil as possible. I have realized in a conflict or a debate, there are no winners, only losers
