Goldom (talk · contribs) Hi there. I've been working on Wikipedia for a couple years now, though only highly active for the last several months. I'm considering an RfA some time in the future (I think I'd probably fail if I tried now due to lack of project page experience), and would appreciate any comments to improve my editing. Thanks. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 04:22, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

- Great user, 5 stars :) I just noticed that you have reverted vandalism on my user page - thanks! If you want more project experience, I suggest joining up to a Wikiproject(s) on a topic(s) that interests you, doing the rounds at Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion, Wikipedia:Featured Article Candidates etc. You could also help with cleaning up articles, completing merge requests etc. (More tasks can be found at Wikipedia:Community Portal). You seem to already be doing RC patrol as well as the much-neglected task of fixing typos in articles, so well done. I reckon you have a bright wiki-future ahead. Brisvegas 11:11, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Questions
- Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- I haven't made all that many major edits - the majority of my contributions are cleanup/wikify sorts of tasks (for example, I fixed ~100 pages which were linking to M*A*S*H, a disambig. page, linking them to the proper destinations), as well as reverting vandalism and marking nonsense pages for deletion. Some examples of articles I have done more on are PEG Link Mode, Physics card, and The Unvanquished, all of which I created, even if they are pretty small. I also created the template Template:The Beatles Singles, which was quite an undertaking, with having to figure out all the appropriate pages to include (as most were in the wrong categories to begin with), and editing all the pages necessary.
- 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?
- There have only been a couple times I've had large disagreements over Wikipedia (and those even pretty small compared to some fights I see here). In those cases, I try not to take conflict personally. That's not something I'm great at in real life, but I feel I have done pretty well online, and on Wikipedia. I feel I have been WP:CIVIL in all cases, and refuted arguments I disagreed with, rather than attacking other members.
