Milk's Favorite Cookie 3

Milk's Favorite Cookie (talk · contribs) I've been around since late December and was wondering how I was doing so far editing. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 23:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews

First, although I miss seeing you on vandal-patrol, I am really impressed with all of the writing you have done in the last few months. I have never had the temperament (read: patience) to be able to write on a large scale, and I really admire those who enjoy doing it. Some of your articles and lists have not been promoted to FA or FL. Even so, you still have done a lot of work on them, and you should be proud of them. Also, although some of your featured stuff was basically copyedited, referenced, and nominated by you, a lot of people don't have the time or the will to make the final push to GA and/or FA or FL. Whether you physically wrote most of a page is not, IMO, the main issue. The big thing is, you were willing to take the time and give the effort to get the article (or list) promoted. IMO, that is A Good Thing™.

I also still see some vandal-reverting, and that is also good, but you should remember to add warnings on the vandals' talk pages; with most of your recent reversions I see you neglected to warn them.

Say something if I am wrong here, but I see very few recent contributions to the Wikipedia namespace other than in the FA, FL or GA areas. If you are planning on going for RFA in the near future (which I assume you are), people will want to see evidence that you know how to use (and enforce) policies and guidelines. Doing more work in "admin-y" would, unfortunately, take away from your article writing, but if you want to pass an RFA, you will most likely be asked to show that you understand policy, especially since many of the opposes you got in your last RFA were due to misinterpretations of policy. Getting involved with areas such as the Administrator Noticeboard, ANI, and (to a lesser extent) AFD is a good way to show that you know how policy works. You also may want to try some CSD tagging on Special:Newpages, although that can be a dangerous area to go if you are not sure of what qualifies for CSD, especially CSD A7. (If you do decide to do some newpage patrolling, and you find that a lot of your speedy deletion noms are being declined, a good person to ask would be User:Moonriddengirl. I asked her for help when I first started, and she has given me excellent advice of how to apply CSD tags correctly.)

In summary, ~~you will never become a good admin because you do not write about milk and cookies~~ Seriously, you should consider trying to get Oreo to FA. That would be AWESOME!!!! I think you are doing a very good job, and I want to encourage you to keep churning out those GA's, FA's, and FL's! J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 00:20, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Writes far too many featured lists on football coaches. Should be writing more on milk and cookies if you ask me. Al Tally ^talk 23:25, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Hah. If I created List of dates and times of Oreo's eaten by MFC it wouldn't meet WP:LENGTH :( - :P « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 01:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
oppose per Al tally. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 21:06, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Very funny, but what is there to oppose? :) - Diligent Terrier (and friends) 18:44, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete: Does not meet WP:NOTABILITY. --Sharkface^T/_C 02:30, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that over the summer, try go for RfA again. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 04:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I would disagree. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 20:57, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Why's that then? Al Tally ^talk 21:23, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - MFC wants to be an admin, badly. Don't even try to deny it. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I'd like MFC to demonstrate the maturity necessary to wait a while - I can easily see him passing right now, but I couldn't support him and in fact would probably oppose unless he waits. Nousernamesleft (talk) 22:13, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - So what if he does? That is not, and has never been a valid reason to deny someone adminship. There is no need to wait if he's ready. Waiting is pointless and possibly detrimental to the wiki when we could be having him as a useful addition. Oppose if you like - it won't reflect well on you. Al Tally ^talk 22:21, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Alright I'll admit that I am biased here. I've offered to nominate him countless times (and he's declined, putting if off which is a difficult choice to make), and so have many others, looking at his talk page and archives. He's said no every time. I don't think someone that wants to be an admin "badly" would decline so many times, do you? Al Tally ^talk 22:25, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Reread my answer. Nousernamesleft (talk) 01:48, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(I can never understand the difference between the three areas of the page here.) My honest advice to you would be to do get involved to the point where your Q3 answer in your next RfA is a lot more meaningful than your Q2 answer here. Best of luck! —giggy 14:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You is doin teh good jobz. But you is needin to make MilkandCookies FA. teh best to teh oreoman. Shapiros10 ^{contact me}_{My work} 15:17, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral - I'll make my final, page-long summary decision once I see how good of a job he does getting Oreo to FA. ;) jj137 (talk) 23:03, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really know that MFC isn't a Cylon? After all... they look like us? Is MFC a gifted human Wikipedian or a simple robotic editing machine? --Sharkface^T/_C 02:30, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You've done some good mainspace work, especially with the featured lists and I wouldn't oppose an RfA over that anymore - I do wish you'd actually research an article from scratch, though - you mostly seem to copyedit and add references to work researched by others, though of course there's nothing wrong with that.

Questions

Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
Some of my best contributions have been to featured lists. I created List of New England Patriots head coaches, List of San Diego Chargers head coaches and List of Atlanta Falcons head coaches. I've also helped make J.R. Richard a featured article. Some of my other contributions can be found here. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 23:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
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?
A minor one. (This was quite a while ago, from my last editor review) This user, seemed to be never showing good faith, and never being civil. She violated the 3 revert rule several times, and was obviously blocked for that. And, to make matters worse: removing 3RR warnings, and not showing good faith in edit summaries. Other than that, I have not been in any other edit conflicts. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 23:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
