[edit] Jonjonbt

Jonjonbt (talk · contribs) I haven't been a Wikipedian for long, but I would like to be reviewed so I can see what I'm not doing good on, and just to see what users think of me. I had a failed RfA on June 1st, and the results were so bad I almost quit, but I got over it and have been editing more than ever, and I am improving the quality of my edits, which is why I'm doing this, to see if the quality is improving. jonjonbt talk•contribs 16:23, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Reviews

  • I really don't know if I'm qualified to do this, since I'm pretty new here, as well. But from what I could see I'll point out a few things that may be helpful.
  1. Nicktropolis. The article is pretty well-written. However, I feel that it uses too many FU images. Simply, 1 or 2 images to illustrate the game should be fine. Further, more references might help. Most importantly, the writing style is confusing. I read the lead and am left wondering whether it is a chat website or a game. Further down, the ==Places== section is confusing as well. The statement "There have been 81 places in Nicktropolis. Currently there are 72 rooms in Nicktropolis." leaves me wondering whether places and rooms are different things or if not, then what? I'm sorry if this sounds too criticism-ic, but this was my impression upon mildly skimming through the article. Lastly, the response of the general public - reviews, comments made on popular TV shows or such, could be included to give more weight to the article.
  2. Edit count. Seems pretty cool, really. But if you're running for another RfA, I'd suggest trying to hike up your mainspace edit count and your edits on Policy pages (or respective talk pages). Also, fighting vandalism and reporting vandals to AIV helps, from what I've heard. But please don't get stuck with editcountitis in the process. :)
Truly sorry if this is too criticising. Just would like to see you make it as an admin. Btw, my comments are not an authority. Please take in comments from other editors too. :) Happy RfA-ing!!! aJCfreak yAk 08:15, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
No prob! That's what this is for! Jonjonbt 01:53, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
  • You said you'd nominated an article on a professional footballer for a speedy delete on this AfD [1]. You also said the De Winne article should be speedily deleted when, as a clearly notable sportsman it was a snowball keep and should never have been brought to AfD. This means that you either don't know the notability rules for sportsmen or simply wish to ignore them. Either is unacceptable if you want to be an admin, which is presumably what this request for comments is about. I hope you've learned from this, learning from mistakes is what it's all about.

Thank you, and I guess I seemed forgot that notability rule in NP patrol. I apologize. Anyway, thanks for putting this on the review! Once again, that's what this is all about. Thanks! Jonjonbt 01:53, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    Actually, the only edit I am really proud of is when I created the Nicktropolis page. There are other edits that I am proud of, but that's the only edit I am really proud of.
  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 been in a few minor conflicts before, and pretty much only one editor has even slightly caused me stress, which is New England (formerly Black Harry) because he was not civil at all on my RfA. I dealt with it rather civilly and I plan to do so with any problems in the future.
