Wikipedia:Editor review/Deon555

User:Deon555

Deon555 (talk · contribs) Hi, I've been a Wikipedian for i think since April 2006, and I have 380 edits at time of writing. I am wanting a review, basically to see how I'm going and too see if I am doing things right. I had a RfA, in early July, and sad to say, I crashed and burned :(. Since then, I have looked at Cleanup tasks, I have become active in all the IRC Channels, always looking for newbie questions at the HelpDesk, and I have (as of last night), joined VandalProof. I am hoping to reapply for RfA in December, or maybe January, and I hoper, after taking on the comments of my peers here, I will succeed. Thankyou --Deon555|talk 03:24, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Reviews

• You seem to be doing well with reverting vandalism, but I think it would be good if you also made some non-VP assisted edits and start contributing to content. You are very enthusiastic, which is great to see, but you need to watch the tone you take with iPs (even those obviously vandalising). You are very good about taking on board other people's opinions and seem to have a very mature approach to Wikipedia. Please consider becoming involved with WP space, such as XfD, RfA etc. You're doing very well, though. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 00:48, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Addit: I am very impressed with your work on open proxies and other projects. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 10:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments

• Sarah Ewart, please do not remove my comments. My comment was valid in its entirety. I feel that Deon is a bad editor.

Questions

1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

   As stated, I haven't really done heaps toward mainspace etc, mainly housekeeping ie clean up, and NP and RC Patrol

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?

   Funny you should ask :P I had what I can remember to be my first conflict today. I was doing RC Patrol and saw someone, who shall remain anonymous, removed a certain part of 2006, and marked these events as minor, so they should be removed. I didn't feel these were minor, so I partly reverted the removal of these, and put back the one item I did think was important, and the user reverted my change, and removed the "minor" events. I commented on this, they replied, and we came to the conclusion that it was minor, and to leave it out. I'm proud of myself, and this other user for being able to come to an agreement, without escellating into an edit war. Thankyou--Deon555|talk 03:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
