Wikipedia:Editor review/Alpha Quadrant 3
Alpha Quadrant (talk · contribs · count) It has been about five months since my lasts editor review. I would like to know how I have been doing, and what I need to improve on. Thank you Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 22:45, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Questions
- What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
- As of late, I have primarily worked at Articles for Creation, Requested Moves, Possibly unfree files/Files for Deletion, and Articles for Deletion. On occasion, I have assisted in dispute resolution. When I am not active in those areas, I am usually working on link rot cleanup, disambiguating, recategorizing, adding references, and minor copyediting. I mainly work on Unites States related organization articles. I have written a handful of articles, a few of which I took to DYK, but nothing near featured or good article quality.
- Have you been in editing disputes 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? If you have never been in an editing dispute, explain how you would respond to one.
- I have only been the subject of one major dispute since my last editor review. Back in October several editors raised concerns over early AfD closures that I had made. I could have most definitely handled it better than I did.
Reviews
Alpha Quadrant has been seen around in many different areas, a true Wikipedian with hoards of qualities in every one of them. Although I have not come into contact with Alpha very often, the times I have he has been very helpful and communicative. When I first got assigned file mover rights, he was there right away with a task to set me going. The times before have been the same. As an editor, the sheer number of venues he works at is enough to set me going. Most people stick to one thing, be it vandal fighting or writing about a certain topic, but Alpha Quadrant moves around thoroughly. At AfC, he helps new users writing their articles, reviews redirects (along with I) at WP:AFC/R and becomes a credit to the project. Link rot cleanup, linking, copyediting, right down to DYK, the contributions have all been good. Even waiting a full five months before undertaking another editor review. Which brings my next point: those AfD closures in October. I confess to being a bit guilty of that myself; it is an easy mistake to make. But you were honest, told us about it, and stopped doing it. That's all that matters. What happened in the past happened, is stuck there and doesn't matter, what happens in the future is up to you. Another commemorative note for your work with Articles for Creation, and this has by far been a positive review. Pretty much ready for adminship, in my opinion.

- Thank you Rcsprinter, I appreciate the review. Best, Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 16:44, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
Wow, I'm at risk of becoming an editor review junky... AQ is a highly experienced editor and has worked in a broad range of areas on Wikipedia. I have always thought you to be clueful, polite and patient. You are a long standing contributer at AfC and have demonstrated a high level of WP:PAG knowledge. You are often one of the first editors into a discussion and consistently find solutions to problems and provide accurate feedback. As has already been said: the NAC incident is in the past and is now 6 months old, you've learnt from it and that's what matters. I agree with Rcsprinter that you are pretty much ready for adminship and I'd be happy to nominate you anytime; although, there is probably a far more worthy editor waiting in front of me, whose username would carry more weight. Keep up the good work! Pol430 talk to me 16:54, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
