Questions

1. What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?

   I would probably have to say that my primary contributions tend to be in areas of esoteric interest, such as international, scientific and medical topics. Because many of my contributions have been spread across a lot of different stubs, it is difficult to specifically define what I am most pleased with--but I would reason that MON 863 is among the best examples in recent weeks.

3. Have you been in any disputes 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 do not recall anything particularly sour ever being shared between another user and myself, but I have always done (and always will do) my best to resolve editorial disagreements through reasoned discussion.

Reviews

• Hi. I only took a quick look at list of your last 500 edits. I see that you get involved in current events. On the list I noticed that you recently created Taxation in Pakistan. I don't question that the information in it is true. However it gives the impression that it was written to advance a political cause. Are there other articles on "Taxation in Nation X"? I expected to see a category at the bottom for these. Borock (talk) 07:16, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are correct; I do tend to contribute in areas related to current events. And there is indeed a set of "Taxation in X": Taxation in the United States, Taxation in the United Kingdom, Taxation in Australia, Taxation in the Republic of Ireland, Taxation in Canada, Taxation in the People's Republic of China, Taxation in New Zealand, Taxation in France, Taxation in Germany, Taxation in India, Taxation in Indonesia, Taxation in Switzerland, Taxation in Sweden, Taxation in Colombia, Taxation in the Palestinian territories, Taxation in Tanzania. The reason that I created Taxation in Pakistan was because I had come across this article set before, and I realized that I was already working with material that would be useful in sourcing a new stub. With regard to the content, the subject matter is intrinsically uncomplimentary—but I am still sorry to hear that my work struck you the way that it did, as I tried my best to dispassionately reiterate the material from the relevant sources. Also, there does appear to be a parent category for them all, but I must have overlooked this because some of the articles are in their own subcategories.   — C M B J   14:07, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. I hope my comments were helpful. There are a lot of editors who are here to push political agendas so it's important to write in a way that shows your neutrality. I think so anyway. Wishing you the best. Borock (talk) 16:36, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
