Wikipedia:Editor review/Mike1

User:Mike1

Mike1 (talk · contribs) I've had an account on Wikipedia since November '05 and have been editing regularly since late February. Early on I didn't have a clue, but now I think I've gotten a more firm grasp on Wikipedia and I just want to know what some of you think of my contributions. Up until yesterday I was known as Mjg0503, although for the most part I signed my posts as Mike anyway. As of right now I have about 1,300 edits, and I am working on trying to make some changes to the WP:EL policy (see the talk page). Also, I am pleased with my contributions to the Netscape article, which I did some merging and resructuring so that it is now about the Netscape company rather than just the browser. I also added several citations and footnotes. Currently it is a GA nom. I hope it passes :-). Anyway, just trying to get some feedback on my edits. - Mike 20:35, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Questions

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

   As I've stated already, I'm really happy with the Netscape article, and the reformatting and references added. I'm also really happy with the work I've done on Calvin and Hobbes, including the "Noodle Incident" section and lots of minor edits. I've been contributing to it for my whole time here. Another thing I would be very pleased with would be to come to a consensus of some kind at the WP:EL debate that I started to allow for linking to more than one fan site.

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?

   In mid-March, after only actively editing for a few weeks, I got into a little argument with Steve Block for spam linking. At the time I was adding links to my websites to articles, and, as stated at WP:EL this is against policy. But I gave him a hard time about it and I really regret the whole situation. I know I was inexperienced, but what on earth was I thinking? I wanted to drive traffic to my sites, yes, but that's not the main reason I'm here, and that's what those edits made it look like. I've never been involved of anything of the sort since, and I've apoligized to Steve since.
