Reviews

I reviewed some of your contributions. Here's what I found:

  1. You're doing okay. Your work on the list of border crossings between Canada and USA improved on what was there before. As for your "own" articles on towns in Quebec, they contain all the basic information, but maybe more can be said about them (provided that all statements have references).
  2. I hope you'll continue to create new articles. Anything longer than one paragraph should have section breaks using == etc. Use wikilinks, e.g. whenever you say some place is in Quebec, link to Quebec. The Manual of Style has guidelines for how to cite references, but don't worry too much about that. You can create sections for "See also" (related topics on Wikipedia) and "External Links" (sources for the article, and anything else that's relevant). Finally, you should find an appropriate stub type and/or category. And if you're still looking to improve it, ask someone else who's worked on that article or similar articles for ideas.
  3. If you have trouble using Wikipedia's peculiar markup language, just ask the folks at the helpdesk.
  4. By the way, you have a cool username.

I wish you good luck. YechielMan 17:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    I am pleased about the articles on southwest Quebec towns that i have started. I found that many towns were missing and this was the reason a joined, to add them. I am also proud of the work i did to standardize the List of Canada–United States border crossings. I am pleased because i get to add/edit articles which allow more people to get more out of the encyclopedia and which interest me. I am also proud of the vandalism that i have reverted. I find it so annoying that some people try to undo what many have worked so hard to achieve. Its like they are scribbling on a rare painting.
  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 yet to encounter any difficulties with any other editors. I have however, been slightly stressed when there is something i am trying to do and i don't know the proper way to do something as per wiki standards or procedures. Also, I don't exactly know how to go about making the articles i started better.
