[edit] Eastmain

Eastmain (talk ยท contribs) I've been contributing since May 2006, trying to improve articles, including those facing deletion, and doing some vandal-fighting. I would like to contribute more effectively, though. --Eastmain 01:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Reviews

You're an A-level editor. I have a few recommendations:

  • I'm not sure why you're user page has two "This is a userpage" boxes. Also, feel free to say more about yourself.
  • Your talk page is getting long. You should WP:ARCHIVE it.
  • I think you should continue your participation at WP:AFD, especially the subject-specific lists (places and transportation). I would describe you as an m:inclusionist, where I personally am a m:deletionist. Reading about this philosophical difference might give you a sense about why you think an article is notable and other people don't think so.
  • If you contribute at the current rate, that's plenty good enough. If you're looking for a new challenge, you can try the Cleanup Wikiproject and its various subsidiaries; my preference is to sort through WP:DEAD, but there's also WP:O, WP:WIKIFY and others.

I wish you good luck. YechielMan 14:58, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    I have helped save some articles at risk of deletion such as George Randolph Hearst III. I also did a lot of useful work with the MSC Napoli article. Because I also participate on the French-language Wikipedia, I sometimes translate an article from French to English and try to expand it, such as Antoine Labelle. --Eastmain 01:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  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?
    Being civil to everyone reduces the chances of being on the receiving end of incivility. Vandals can be annoying, but I limit my interaction with them to reverting their edits and posting the standard warning templates on their user pages. I will report vandals at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, but I wish that I could block vandals who have received a final warning myself rather having to ask an admin to do so. --Eastmain 01:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

  4. What's your biggest peeve on Wikipedia? That is, what bothers you the most about Wikipedia (or anything on it)? And what do you think should be done about it? The Transhumanist   20:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
