Ancient Apparition
Ancient Apparition (talk · contribs · count) My name is Ancient Apparition, I've been a Wikipedian for 3 years and 4 months, but I've been editing for only 9 continuous months and few sporadic edits prior to that. I am active at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation (primarily article and file submissions) and I'm an active new page patroller. I have made mistakes with my CSD tagging, my understanding of CSD has improved and I've been more careful now. —Ancient Apparition • Champagne? • 9:36am • 22:36, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Questions
- What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
- I helped promote Stephen Colbert to Good Article status, I've nominated 5 DYKs (contributed to 3 of the articles) two of the articles which I nominated for DYK, John Woodland Hastings which was an AfC I reviewed and Digital Education Revolution which was an article I created are the articles which I have spent most of my earlier and later article work on.
- 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.
- No. Though I have been involved in a few kerfuffles, my early AfC work and later a minor dispute with User:Tony1 which was later resolved.
Reviews
- Review by Alpha Quadrant
Looking over your contributions I don't see anything that is a major concern. You have done good work in Articles for Creation, as well as adding to WikiProject Australia articles. Reading over your RfA it appears that it largely failed because you lack experience in the areas you plan to work and because you answered every oppose !vote. I would suggest you try participating more in AfD, and perhaps try getting involved in the dispute resolution process, such as at WP:3O and WP:MEDCAB. Also, in your RfA you said you wanted to work in Requested Moves as an administrator. If you wish to work there as an administrator you might consider performing some non-controversial non-admin closures. Your content work is rather good, keep up the good work. If in 6 - 12 months you still wish to run for adminship, I will consider nominating you. Alpha Quadrant talk 15:19, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
