Reviews

I have reviewed your userpage and some of your edits. Here's what I found.

  1. I really can't comment on the antivandalism work. I don't do it, so I can only hope that you know the difference between a vandal's edit and an honest difference of opinion. Usually it's not hard to know the difference.
  2. Your userpage should not be your main focus. You've designed it nicely. Just keep it like it is, although I find the flashing "online"/"offline" button very annoying. Consider removing it.
  3. You could learn much more about writing articles. This edit was a good start. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style and the links there from the template box on the right.
  4. You could also learn more about what belongs in articles. You're probably not aware that most middle schools aren't in Wikipedia because they don't fulfill our requirement of notability. Also, citing a "personal communication" as a reference is fine for a school paper, but doesn't work here. See WP:NOT#OR.

I wish you good luck. YechielMan 04:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Your signature has to go. This is how it looks in the edit window:
<font family="Trebuchet MS" color="#D2691E" font-size="95%"><b>~</b></font>[[User:Steptrip|<font family="Trebuchet MS" color="#FF0000" font-size="95%"><b>St</b></font><font family="Trebuchet MS" color="#FFD700" font-size="95%"><b>ep</b></font><font family="Trebuchet MS" color="#7CFC00" font-size="95%"><b>tr</b></font><font family="Trebuchet MS" color="#00FFFF" font-size="95%"><b>ip</b></font>]] <sup>(</sup>[[User talk:Steptrip|<font family="Trebuchet MS" color="#0000FF"><sup>talk</sup></font>]]<sup>)</sup>
It's one of the most excessive sigs I've ever seen. John Reaves (talk) 01:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

  • You've created a Prank New-Messages Header - never a good thing. DS 21:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

You make many nice mainspace edits, but consider making fewer userpage edits (I need a ton of work in this area also :) ). You may also want to participate in some XfDs, and doing recentpage/new page patrol would also give you some more editting experience. Keep up the good work! --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book, review me!) 23:50, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

About the sig- It's a little long - try shortning it to three lines or so
About the fake-message box - there was a discussion about this, I removed mine anyway --The preceding comment was signed by User:Sp3000 (talk•contribs) 11:35, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
My message-box was removed some time ago, and I have cut down my sig length to the shortest length that I conceive, while keeping it looking the way I want.  ~Steptrip You raise me up 01:03, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Tohru Honda13's Review
From the looks of your contributions, I'd say you're doing a fine job. I'm particulary pleased with your Recent Changes patrol; you warn every. single. vandal. that. vandalized. Pretty good. But other than reverting vandalism all the time, consider doing some cleanup and copyediting and referencing, etc., to the articles that need them. Should you plan to run for adminship, a large vandal-reverting only could earn you some opposes (my experienced admin friend told me this).
Another thing I'd like to point out, from your edit count, it's best to minimize edits to your userspace (like I should talk :). It could get out of hand. I'm happy with your work at WP:MOTD; just as you told me, you're participating in almost every motto that's been created. Keep it up! On the other hand, you should participate in some deletion debates, aka WP:XFD. It's a good way to boost your namespace edits (they could be rather boring at first, but you'll come to like doing it).
And sorry for the late review. I've been on a semi-wikibreak. Peace, ♣Tohru Honda13♣ 23:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    I am pleased with the AJMS page and my userpage as well, because the AJMS article was my first edit, and on my userpage, I can express myself freely (and I uploaded my first .jpg file onto my userpage).
  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?
    Yes, I have been in a vandalism dispute, and I reverted the page to its last valid state, and I will do the same thing in the future w/ the addition of tagging the user in question's userpage with a vandal warning tag, which I have done while using VandalProof.
