MJ94 (talk · contribs · count) Hi there, I'm MJ94. I'm an editor here, and would like to get other opinions on how I am doing here at Wikipedia. I am mostly a new page patroller and recent changes patroller. Although I do not edit the contribute content much, I believe that users myself are important to keeping Wikipedia a reliable source of information. Thank you for your time.

Additionally, I believe every editor is valuable to the project. Some may be excellent at content, some, vandalism reverts or general cleanup. It's all about helping to build an amazing resource, while learning, and enjoying what you do. MJ₉₄ 03:05, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

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

   My primary contributions are in the area of vandalism fighting, new page patrolling, and XfDs. I often participate in discussions at RfA as well. I participate largely in the Wikipedia namespace.

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 wouldn't really call it a dispute, but User:Bad edits r dumb and I have crossed paths. I have tried many times to get the editor to contribute productively, to no success. I deal with disputes calmly and maturely. I have, and will continue to discuss any problems I have with someone with them, and hopefully come to some resolution.

• Okay, I write some comment. He is very helpful, but sometimes he can very bossy and argumentative and nitpick over procedures. And sometime he talk to u like your an idiot, even if u r an experienced wikipedian. But for the most part he cares about the project and try to do the right thing.--Bad edits r dumb (talk) 03:08, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Okay here. Your XFD, Speeedy tagging and vanadal warning is spot on, which seems very good. I would suggest getting some content contribs under your belt, which sshouldn't be too hard. You keep your cool in disputes, and have an overall positive attitude. You seem to be a very good editor, taking into account that you are sometimes inactive due to school. I hope we cross paths again! Buggie111 (talk) 13:34, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Review by VictorianMutant:
  • Civility towards the community: No problems here... you seem to be pretty level-headed.
  • Article contributions: You sound a bit defensive above in the way you talk about not contributing to articles. I think vandal fighting, participating in discussions, tagging articles, etc. is just as important as article contributions. I thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. But at least consider this: find an article in an area which interests you which is in sad shape and make it a project. I'm not saying work on it 10 hours a day- just a few minutes every day you're on Wikipedia. Make it your baby- it may take you months, but when you are done, you'll have a permanent contribution to Wikipedia. Vandals come and go- the articles you reverted yesterday because of vandalism will be vandalized again... but that article you get up to GA status will be a testament to your dedication to the project forever.
  • Edit count analysis: Even before I looked at your contributions in detail, your graph tells me you're a vandal fighter, pure and simple. You don't mess around with making your user page pretty and that's a good thing.
  • RfA-worthiness: You really haven't shown much interest and don't have enough edits yet, but given time and a little bit of content work, I would support you.
  • Final thoughts: Keep up the great work. You are one of the most efficient vandal fighters I've seen on here. Don't stop what you are doing... but do consider my thoughts about making one article shine- I bet you could surprise even yourself with how good you could make that article.

• My interactions with this user have been positive, I respect the work he has done and as Buggie111 said his XFD, speedy tagging and vandal warning are spot on, no doubt about that. Given Bad edits r dumb's unwillingness to cooperate and come to a compromise and his cool-calm approach to such disputes, I believe that he would one day make a good Mediator and he definitely proves himself to be a shining member of the community. —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? • 2:24pm • 04:24, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
