[edit] User:Kinu

Kinu (talk · contribs) I've been an active Wikipedian for quite some time now, and although most of my activity over at least the past six to twelve months has consisted of AfD, vandal fighting, and new page patrol, I'd like to think that some of my Main namespace contributions are of encyclopedic value. As I would welcome the opportunity to bear the Wikimop in the near future, I'd like to gauge others' opinions as to what activities I should participate in more so, which areas I need work in, and (one would hope) what I am doing right at the moment. All criticism is appreciated. Thank you! Kinu t/c 20:33, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Due to the holidays, there might be some editors taking a break from the site; since I'd like their input as well, I'll probably keep this open for two weeks, until January 11, 2007. --Kinu t/c (éŕ) 06:46, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Since I have been nominated for adminship, I am closing this review early. Anyone is more than welcome to comment on me there (scheduled to end 22:05, 2007-01-08 (UTC)). --Kinu t/c (éŕ) 06:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Since the requesting editor has declared this review closed, I have taken the liberty of removing the {{notreviewed}} tag from this editor review to remove it from the WP:ER backlog. Please feel free to revert if you wish to re-open this review. --Muchness 06:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    It's hard to pare down to specifics... ideally one should be proud of all of their contributions to the project. However, I must say that the ability to create new pages (some of which I have highlighted on my user page) is the best part of working here: the ability to add knowledge, casting the first stone to allow others to add their input to what could eventually be a full encyclopedic article. Creating these nascent articles brings a certain sense of satisfaction, and knowing that my work will provide the basis for other editors' improvements is certainly humbling!
  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?
    Naturally other editors have caused me stress... it's a given when on new page patrol or when fighting vandalism. I've learned that simply reverting the suspected vandalism isn't enough, as often these are good faith actions by new editors. I've learned to make full use of the warning templates, and more importantly that dropping a {{welcome}} on a new user page often goes further in the way of fostering dialogue with a potential new community member. On AfD, I've had my share of disagreements, but I try to keep things objective. Whether I have been successful or not, and whether I could do more to put the brakes on conflicts... I'll leave that assessment to my reviewers. :P
