[edit] JeanLatore

JeanLatore (talk · contribs) I think I have many productive edits on Wikipedia, yet some issues nonetheless. I want to run for admin one day, but mostly work on aritlces. Please give me some feedback. JeanLatore (talk) 03:13, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Reviews

I'm somewhat familiar with the editor in question, having worked with him in the past on a few things. You're well on his way to becoming a good Wikipedian, but that doesn't mean you don't a lot to learn as well (i.e, you posted a thread critical of tagging practices on sub-par articles, which leads one to believe that you doesn't realize that the work of the copyeditors, and many other things that happen here, is dependent on such tagging practices, and you also make posts critical of metapedians who work mainly in the projectspace, which leads one to believe that you don't understand why we can't just let people edit articles without any kind of system for managing the sub-par ones or the ones that aren't in line). As a content contributor, you seem to have a habit of contributing things of marginal notability, but I imagine that will improve as you develop a better understanding of notability and a better comprehension of the relevant guidelines.

My suggestions to you if you want to head towards adminship would be to spend more time in the project mainspace at AfD, RfA and the like. This would help you to better understand policy and how Wikipedia works, and would give you the experience that most people who regular RfAs require. Celarnor Talk to me 07:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't really know that much about the editor. However, if he's planning on running for admin someday, removing the userbox {{User DGAF}} would probably be a good idea. ☯  Zenwhat (talk) 18:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I have to question Jean's judgment in creating some of the articles he did. Some appear to be porn articles intended to promote some kind of organization. Enigma message 07:59, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    I have worked on many articles involving pornography. I think wikipedia needs more coverage of pornography if anything, since its a growing part of all our lives.
  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?
    My first amjor article, Handlebars (song) got protected due to an edit dispute.
