[edit] Jaypenguin150

Jaypenguin150 (talk ยท contribs) I am a Junior in High School, and am very excited about being part of Wikipedia. Although homework takes up a great deal of my time, I still try to edit pages that need attention from different WikiProjects. I mostly try to work on Disney related pages, as that is an area where I have a lot of expertise. I have joined WikiProject Disney, Walt Disney World, and Disneyland. I would like to be reveiwed to see what I can do better/different and what else I can do on Wikipedia........jw ........jw 06:28, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Reviews

I reviewed a few of your contributions, and I checked the edit counting tool. I found that you are making a few mistakes that are typical for new users, and easily corrected.

  1. For some reason, you have marked every edit as "minor". Generally, you should only mark an edit as minor if you're fixing a spelling mistake or correcting a run-on sentence or similar problems. If you're adding or deleting a whole sentence, the "minor edit" box should not be checked.
  2. When you delete a comment more than a few minutes after you originally wrote it, you should use the "strikeout" feature, <str>like this</str>. You could have done that here.
  3. You created a WikiProject for MythBusters, but so far nobody else has joined. Have you advertised it on Talk:MythBusters? Have other editors expressed their interest in it? If you are an expert on the TV show, you don't need help to edit articles on that subject (though of course you should welcome help when it comes). Just go ahead and add the information - with references. Don't be shy; be bold.
  4. Don't get too caught up with your userpage. It's good enough the way it is.
  5. Please come back! You've only made two edits this month, and it would be a shame for the project to lose your knowledge and talent. I wish you good luck. YechielMan 04:42, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    I am very pleased about doing some of the 'dirty work' for the Disney pages, such as converting templates and toolboxes. I think that this is a necessary evil that makes a big difference in the end.
  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 a lot of ideas. Some people have expressed disapproval of my ideas. I am glad to know that there are people that care as much as I do when it comes to editing, formatting, and refurbishing articles.
