Wikipedia:Editor review/Erik the Red 2
Erik the Red 2 (talk · contribs) I have just reached a thousand edits, so thought it would be good time to be reviewed on those contributions, and to gain advice on how I can improve on future edits. Erik the Red 2 (AVE·CAESAR) 21:28, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello Erik-
I've never reviewed before so I hope you'll bear with me as I give it my best.
During a superficial look through your edits, they appear to be primarily concentrated on vandal fighting- which is totally cool and I applaud your ability to slog through vandal edit after vandal edit without getting disheartened. This was something I and many other's cannot do, and I think you should stick with it. If, and I'm not saying this has happened, you start getting people reminding you of WP:AGF, it may be time to take a break- I've found after too much time doing only vandal fighting it gets harder and harder to assume that any given person is acting in good faith.
Now, if you're wanting to become an admin, you will probably want to round out your editing a little- do some article writing, maybe some work with a wikiproject, etc. We need as many admins that are good vandal fighters as possible, but the voting Wikipedian public likes to see that you've at least given other stuff a try. I would also recommend reading through our policies so you are sure of yourself in areas that you might not be so familiar with having only done vandal-fighting work.
If you need suggestions finding articles to fix up, take a look at your userboxen! You clearly have tons of interests, and many of them have WikiProjects that provide to-do lists and articles that need attention. For example, WikiProject Environment.
The only thing I have left to say to you!: don't you think these two statements, "This user wants to TAX THE RICH to provide health care, education and welfare for everyone" and "This user is a Capitalist" conveniently located right next to each other on your user page... kind of conflict?
Ah, now I'm just harassing you. Make sure to drop a line if you ever RFA, 'kay?

Questions
- Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- Not particularly, I guess I am satisfied with most of my edits, but I don't feel particularly pleased with any of them. Most of my edits are in the area of vandal-fighting and warning, and preventing incorrect information from slipping unnoticed into history and mythology-related articles.
- 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?
- I haven't really been in any conflicts recently or have been caused stress; I had what some might call a "conflict" on The Holocaust, but I prefer to think of that as a debate, as it was mostly just making points back and forth on the talk page.
