UBeR

UBeR (talk · contribs) It's been over a year since my last (and first) editor review. The review was very informative, and I've used that information to alter the way I edit Wikipedia. I can only hope for an equally helpful review, as much as changed since then.

Unlike when my first review was being commented on, I have significantly reduced how much I edit Wikipedia (see Interiot's tool). But I plan to come back with vigor (but refreshed), which is one reason I've started this review. I used to edit controversial articles, namely global warming (and related), to ensure Wikipedia's policies were being adhered to, namely WP:NPOV. I still do edit those articles from time to time, but I've largely given up on it and often simply ignore their farce disputes. I spend most of my time editing articles relating to glaciology, geology, and paleoclimatology, but have taken some interest in Latin American history and American politics.

I hope for useful comments, positive or negative. Thanks. UBeR (talk) 04:55, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews

This is my first Editor Review so you may want more than I can offer at the moment but here goes:
I liked your reply to Remember the dot on your user talk page. You politely let the user know that you weren't able to help them out while adding a little humor. It is always nice to see people who don't take things too seriously around here and as a newer editor it is something I consider to be very important. Actually, I noticed that on your talk page in general you seem to have a really good attitude and seemed easy to talk to.
When looking through your contribs page I payed closest attention to your small edits. The main thing that stood out is that while you had good summaries there were a few minor edits that weren't marked as minor. To me that isn't as big of a deal, because each time your edit summaries made it clear that it was something simple and minor such as typo or add reflist which show very clearly without needing to look at the diff that it is a minor edit. Minor or not, all of your edits out of the ones I looked at seemed to be good calls and helpful in general. %%-SYKKO-%% (talk to me) 05:37, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, thanks for the review! I'm not very active anymore, so most of my edits are minor these days. ~ UBeR (talk) 06:59, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    I've throughly enjoyed editing Quaternary glaciation, an article about the current ice age. It will someday be a featured article. Editing execution of Saddam Hussein was fun, and I believe it too will be a featured article in the near future. ~ UBeR (talk) 04:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  3. 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?
    Oh, yes. ~ UBeR (talk) 04:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
