[edit] Cascadia

Cascadia (talk · contribs) I am requesting an Editor Review because I am considering applying for adminship. I do know of some general areas where I need to work on, but I would like some more constructive feedback. I do know I have a high edit count within my userspace (I try to do any sort of practice in there, as well as working on complex things such as exit lists). Thank you for your time.

  • I think you're a great editor, you'll be a great admin. - PatricknoddyTALK (reply here)|HISTORY 00:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Edit count is too low, need roughly 5K edits minimum for adminship. Otherwise... I just don't feel that you have studied core Wikipedia policies enough. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 02:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I see your point, I have a lot more edits, and nearly 5K (approx. 4843 as of saving this edit). - PatricknoddyTALK (reply here)|HISTORY 20:07, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I appreciate your comments, however I don't believe quantity is not as important as quality of work done. Thanks for your comments though. Review MeCASCADIAHowl/Trail 20:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
    • I agree with cascadia. Edit counting is a pathetic way of judging whether someone is ready for adminship. There is no 'edit count' prerequisite. It even says that at the page 'edit counting over on Meta.—A • D Torque 21:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Possibly but other users will oppose based on edit count. Also, I don't feel that this user is ready for admin. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 21:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I understand this is related to our disagreement at WP:USRD? Considering this is the only encounter we've ever had. Review MeCASCADIAHowl/Trail 22:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Not quite, judging by your contributions, I don't feel that you are quite ready for adminship. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 02:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I guess for the USRD area at least, just do more editing and gain more experience. and start getting involved in USRD discussions (as you have been doing). --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:19, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I personally think you would be a great admin but I know some would oppose based on edit count and/or experience- other than that I can think of no other opposition- you seem friendly and helpful and have a fair grasp of policy. If you do go for an Rfa I would recommend stronger answers to the questions (although you probably didn't take these ones to seriously!). GDonato (talk) 19:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Cascadia. I have a few tips- The first is to improve your overall mainspace edits. At the moment that's at about 350- people in RFAs generally want to see a lot more than that, however it's the whole quantity vs quality argument again. I'd recommend getting this count up a bit more, however. Wikipedia and Wikipedia talk edits are all good. Edit summary- while I can see from your contributions that this is improving, just make sure that you always enter an edit summary. In your preferences you can actually set a prompt for this- if you haven't already. Otherwise, you seem to be in pretty good standing amongst other editors, and although you aren't quite ready yet, later you should pass an RFA, if you've been editing the mainspace more. I hope that helped you- cheers- CattleGirl talk | sign! 07:10, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    My exit list and junction list added to U.S. Route 60 in Arizona, that particular project took a long time to complete.
  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 have encountered only one or two conflicts over editing in the past, and I've dealt with them by just trying to push through the arguments and getting to a resolution. I have, though, encountered stress when dealing with other users, and I've dealt with it by either taking a break, expressing my frustrations, or focusing my energy elsewhere when situations get too out of hand.
