[edit] Valley2city
Valley2city (talk • contribs) Hi everyone! I've been an editor on Wikipedia for over a year and a half now and really never had constructive feedback as to how I have been doing. I have done a lot of gnome tasks as well as a large amount of work on the Counter-Vandalism Unit, but have also made a substantial amount of contributions to Wikipedia and I am immensely curious as to what people think. Thanks in advance, --Valley2city₪‽ 17:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Reviews
- Hi Valley2city. When I think of Hebrew, I think of religion, lol. Anyways, regarding you as a Wikipedian, while the experience is definitely there (editor since November 2005, active editor since June 2006), I would like to comment on couple things:
-
- Your interest is on Jewish-related topics. That is great; however, I don't find much of it. Selichot and Shemini Atzeret looks awesome, but they are both essentially still stubs. You need to find a article and adopt it, and you will develop your prestige. Your prestige will be crucial in your success in RFA, which you are interested in the future.
- I was trying to find out more about you, but I have to stay your user page is not very useful. I doubt other users would like to read your philosophy on Wikipedia. Most people are interested on user's personality and interests, so they can engage better in discussions. On a side note, I don't think you have communicated enough with other users - subtract the auto reverts, your user talk edit is quite low.

Questions
- Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- I am certainly proud of my contributions to wikipedia. In particular, I have been very involved in projects of WikiProject:Judaism, especially the series on Holidays. I created the article on Shemini Atzeret and greatly expanded Selichot. These two occasions are not widely known even in the Jewish world and I am glad that I can share my expertise in these subjects, at the same time learning new things from other articles (see why on my userpage). I have also spent a lot of time on tweaking templates. I am particularly proud of this because I do not tend to be a graphical person.
- 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?
- We are all human and all have opinions and there is no one who is free of biases. I do get impassioned with certain issues, especially those relating to Israel, yes; however, my job as an editor is to remain as unbiased as possible. That is not to say things have not gotten heated. When my personal biases come into conflict with the encyclopedic nature of Wikipedia, then I try to recuse myself from the discussion.
