Reviews

I feel that a full review should be left to somebody more experienced than I, however I couldn't help but note that over 70% of your edits have been to your userpage. It would be nice to see a greater number of other edits in relation to userpage edits. Fleagle 02:51, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

  • There's no way to sugarcoat this. You're not doing very well. In addition to Fleagle's point, you created a Wikiproject on Super Monkey Ball that just got nominated for MFD; I had voted to delete before I came here. You made the ugly mistake of not signing the comment (like this: ~~~~) that you wrote there. Even your article contributions have been suspect: how much of encyclopedic value is there to say about a video game? Did you reference your contributions, or did you just sort of write about what you know? You should read the policies on attribution and notability and learn from them what to write about, and how to write it.

More than that, you need to change your attitude. In a couple of phrases below, you say "my projects." Nothing is really "mine" on Wikipedia. We don't WP:OWN our contributions, or even our user pages. We are part of a fictional community, trying to achieve a common goal of compiling and disseminating knowledge. You can either participate in that community with a full heart, or you can continue working on "my projects." I hope you learn and live in the spirit of collaboration, and I wish you good luck.

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    I am very pleased with some of my projects and innovations to Wikipedia, but I am also proud of my contributions to many articles, and I hope that I will become a great Wikipedia editor, one step at a time.
  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've been involved in a userbox conflict with a user named Scepia around New Years. He was stealing other people's userboxes (Including two of mine) and I wasn't too happy. So I formed a WikiProject designed to help people migrate their userboxes, and I tried to put all of Scepia's userboxes back to their orinigal owner, but I came across some problems and that Scepia was mad too. So in the end, I just became neutral and stopped moving people's userboxes, and everything and everyone settled down very quickly.
  3. Supplement to the above: Do you feel that the comment "I wonder why everyone is trying to sabotage my Wikipedia projects." accurately describes your interactions with other users? Alai 23:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
    Well, whenever I try to improve the encyclopedia with a little project of mine, it gets deleted on sight. I really want to do something good to Wikipedia, but I don't know where to start, and it is bugging me. I said that everyone was sabotaging my projects because I want to do something good to the encyclopedia, but I don't know what types of things would make Wikipedia good, and my project still are getting deleted. I read the Wikipedia rules from time to time, and I don't know what is the urge to delete them. That's why I started my Beta Program (In my userpage menu), so that I can get suggestible feedback from other users that would probably make my projects better.
