Amillion[edit]

Amillion (talk · contribs) I have been an editor since August of 2006 (probably even earlier, since I didn't have an account at first), but I've only recently become a particularly active one. I'm not terribly technologically literate, and I had no idea what I was doing when I first arrived, so it's been a steep learning curve. I'd like to know what other editors think about the progress I've made thus far, and what I might do to further improve the quality of my contributions. As far as my level of civility goes, I would like to point you in the direction of heated debates in which I have participated so that you may judge for yourselves: [1], [2], [3] and [4], [5]).Amillion (talk) 00:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews

Review by Dusti
I would first like to commend you by your improvement in the use of the edit summary. If you have a goal of adding your name to this list one day, that'll come to your benifit. Also, being an Adopter and contributing to other reviews is also a good move. One thing that I have noticed (again assuming you want to become an Admin someday) that will not help your RFA is your sporadic editing.

Helpful Items

• Continue using the edit summary
• Continue your editing, but try to remain constant at least a few months before you wish to have an RFA (if that's what your aiming for)
• Be an asset to your Adoptee

Other than that, I think your doing great!! Good Job and happy editing, Dusti^SPEAK!! 00:32, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

   I have contributed a great deal to the Unschooling article. Although my initial edits weren't great (I was still learning how to use Wikipedia at that point), I think I've done a lot to improve the quality of that article.

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?

   I have had a couple of conflicts with other editors. The first was a result of making significant edits to an article without first discussing it on the talk page (something I did not yet know I was supposed to do). Another editor took it personally and said some less than civil things. I didn't return to that article for quite a while. Whenever I feel the desire to say something uncivil, I remember that incident. I try to remain as level-headed as possible and discuss the issue at hand calmly and rationally. I'm not sure that I've always succeeded, but I do my best.

4. Why did you warn a vandal on the talk page of the Unschooling article? (diff) - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 20:20, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

   Because I did not know the preferred way to do it at that point. I subsequently did a little research and discovered it. Amillion (talk) 20:31, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
