Rambo's Revenge (talk · contribs) I have been here seriously for just over a year. I have never received any community feedback thus far, so thought I'd do so now. Also, I may have to edit less in the upcoming months so this provides a chance to take in any comments for when I return fully. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 23:22, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews

• Bravo for never being blocked and for receiving so many good, featured, and did you know credits! Really impressive! The only possible suggestion I have is to maybe try to earn some rescue credits as well. Best, --A Nobody^{My talk} 16:34, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Rambo you're a great editor, you have many credits to your name. I've seen you at FLC many times. I just recommend that you edit other areas of WP, not just at FLC, but AIV, AFD, or even here at ER. In the future, try to fully resolve a situation before commencing a edit war, it will benefit both parties.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 00:04, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

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

   My first real serious work will always be significant to me, promoting five The O.C. related lists to create a featured topic. Also my only FA was a stressful but rewarding experience. I am also proud to be working at FLC and try to give thorough reviews (e.g. this) however unfortunately I would need more hours in the day to be doing this kind of review for every FLC. I also set up WikiProject Awards and prizes which was fun to get up and running. I am also pretty happy with how my current SPoTY topic is coming along.

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 once opposed an FLC based on a bug that was (at the time) unfixable. It was contested as an unactionable oppose so I gathered input on the validity of the oppose and a together a solution was reached. (The bug has since been fixed). Another was when I encountered an oppose, which I disagreed with, on one of my own FLC nominations. I got round by discussing with the opposer, other editors of similar lists, and an FLC director.

   My only article "edit war" to speak of was at List of Presidents of the United States. It is basically summarised here although has much more history to it. It stemmed from "discussion" over whether an image was Bush's official portrait. An editor undid another editor I disagreed and reverted that undo, which was then reverted by the same editor. After talk page discussion I boldly changed all the images which was reverted. I talked and redid the action but was reverted again later that day. Eventually I got so annoyed I just stopped editing the page. It transpired that the image I was protesting against was not official, and is no longer used. As for the portraits having complex copyright status and changing them all to photos, I lost interest and left discussions (if you can call them that). In future, I would probably uninvolve myself sooner, as it was this situation that cause my only lack of faith in the project to date.
