Questions
- Of your contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- I'm particularly proud of The Greencards which I began in 2006, and dove right back into upon returning. 200 edits later, it's (hopefully) going to get through it's third FAC now, and I'll be pushing this next for FAC, followed by this, which I'll be doing with Jmabel, and my eye on a couple others after that for FA, and actually have gotten a couple requests to get other things up there. I'm a terrible copyeditor, though, and you can see that I routinely misuse or abuse the English language. So, I will shamelessly beg, borrow, cheat, steal, offer to trade, and cry for copyediting help! I'd love to help out on reviewing FAs or GAs, but again, that copyediting thing is my Achille's heel. I'm particularly proud of getting The Paperboys to GA, since some of the sources were... challenging to find in order to build it. They were for many years relatively "underground" in the sourcing sense of the word.
- I like to think after being around since 2005 and for ages in the outside peanut gallery that I have a clue on policy discussion and meta-type things, and I hope it shows most of the time.
- Along the way, I became on administrator on Wikimedia Commons which I'm extremely proud of. I tend to focus in and specialize on flickr and copyvio issues related to that. I had applied for OTRS to help on these, as I'm (I hope) knowledgeable on copyright matters related to media and wanted to help on the perpetually backlogged Commons permissions queues. Maybe next time. rootology (C)(T) 16:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- 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- I'm unfortunately tied into a (now thankfully superceded) rather troublesome and infamous RFAR here way, way back in 2006. Relative ancient history, now. I saw things weren't going to what I perceived as fair or right, so I made sure I was blocked afterwards in a stupid protest of trying to be as outrageous as possible with my final 2006 edits (it's all in my contribs, and all ancient). I've since apologize at length for slamming the doors pretty hard in the summer of 2006, but as of yet the two people who I slammed the door haven't yet acknowledged that, which I wasn't expecting. Again, all ancient history to me.
- After Sarah Palin was selected as John McCain's VP running mate, I, like about 99% of Misplaced Pages all at once began working on her article. That has now turned into another RFAR due to some pretty wild wheel warring, that I had nothing to do with. I laid out a bunch of evidence here and proposals here that were well-received. I don't really have any other real conflicts on here. rootology (C)(T) 16:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
