Wikipedia:Editor review/Ginsengbomb
Ginsengbomb (talk · contribs · count) Hello there! I've been an on-again off-again editor since 2006. I've recently (since October of 2009) become much more active, after a rather prolonged absence from significant activity since 2007. I'm trying to get more involved with Wiki space tasks... AFD's, ANI (which is a hornet's nest but a fascinating one), etc. I'm actively trying to branch out into new things, just to increase my general knowledge. I have extensive experience in vandalism patrolling, new page patrolling, etc. Regardless, I'd love to get some feedback about my contributions. I'm interested in getting more into dispute resolution (which is something I excel at in real life, at least), and may be interested in pursuing adminship down the road, which is another reason feedback seems like a good idea at this point. Anyway, that's that for now. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 19:26, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Questions
- What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
- I am not an article creator, so I can't immediately highlight this (I've got a whopping two articles created to my credit: Bryan Scary and The Shredding Tears). I am very proud of my contributions to vandal reversion, and find participating in AFDs increasingly rewarding, as well as other various tasks. These tasks are pleasing because I am a huge believer in Wikipedia, a huge believer in making sure it is as high quality a resource as possible, and a huge believer in Wiki-ing in general, which makes solid application of the various guidelines critical.
- 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 have never been in an editing "dispute," assuming that means some kind of reversion or content-based dispute. I have had disagreements on occasion, and one or two where I regret having allowed myself to become too personally involved. I think my primary source of regret is a conflict which can be viewed primarily on my talk page here [1]. I attempted to resolve a dispute between two editors in an amicable fashion and basically ended up getting a little riled up when one of the editors took my attempt at resolution the wrong way. A third party came in and duly chastised me and, while I didn't entirely agree with his interpretation of events, at that point I did finally come to my senses and simply agreed to disagree. In the future, I would be more diligent in not letting my "feathers get ruffled" in such situations. I certainly feel I could have handled things differently in this situation.
Reviews
It is obvious to me that Ginsengbomb is passionate about vandalism and pages marked for deletion. Thanx so much for your feedback! by Awfief (talk) 14:04, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
