Wikipedia:Editor review/Saber girl08
Saber girl08 (talk · contribs) I wish to be reviewed so that I know if I'm doing okay. I don't want to get through another thousand edits just to discover I've been doing things wrong. I would also like to know if there's anything I could improve. Saber girl08 11:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks for fixing my spelin errs.Jmpenzone 21:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Having looked at your edits, you seem very focused on fixing minor spelling errors, which is wonderful. But you also seem to be very into chatting with other users, which is not the point at all of Wikipedia, outside of things that are involved with Wikipedia itself anyways. Also, I left some notes for you on your user talk page, which you appear to have gotten already! Finally, it is wonderful that you do want to be involved, but please remember to not focus too much on chatting or doing things with your own user page, etc. You might do well to read this editor review. Also, if your goal is to become an admin, please see this! I will also freely admit that I have some of the same issues, but I thought it might be helpful for me to try to point them out for you! -- Whereizben - Chat with me - My Contributions 13:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- That's the worst advice I've heard in a long time. --71.98.109.19 (talk) 20:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Saber brings with her the enthusiasm and energy of youth coupled with an eye for detail and a desire to use all these attributes to improve wikipedia. Her interest in welcoming new users - as well as communicating with some old ones strikes a healthy balance. She has already earned the Thumbs Up Award from me so I'm thinking that she will have a long and productive life here. Carptrash 16:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Saber is quite an editor: She is friendly, energetic, determined, and a perfectionist. She also has the virtue of being very persistent. She continuously keeps on learning despite personal attacks or destructive criticisms, which shows her personal integrity and willingness to continue contributing to Wikipedia regardless of personal circumstances. I've known her for quite a while and she is always in a good mood. I can also safely say that she always seem to have the best intentions in whatever she does. Seraph 03:30, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Saber was very prompt in editing an article that I requested she she work with. Very friendly also. Wpktsfs 18:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- In her 61 days here, Saber girl08 has displayed an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm, especially for behind-the-scenes work like fixing spelling mistakes and adding links. Additionally she does an excellent job of using edit summaries, with the Mathbot tool giving her a score of 98% for major edits and 100% for minor edits! If I were to make a few suggestions on how to be an even better editor, I would recommend that she proofread her spelling corrections to ensure accuracy (as an example, in a recent edit [1] "The minimall has a small eatery" was changed to "The minimal has a small eatery," and "loading docks for the convience of tennants" was changed to "loading docks for the connivence of tenants"), and also encourage her to familiarize herself with the Manual of Style (as an example, every change made in this edit was in violation of our guidelines on headings). However both of these issues are relatively minor, and are relatively common with new editors. Overall I feel that Saber girl08 does a fantastic job, and has the potential to be one of wikipedia's most prolific editors! --Kralizec! (talk) 01:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- If you haven't joined the kindness campaign, I strongly suggest it, I have seen your smile on approx. 4 different, random userpages. Keep up the good work, ~Steptrip Make me fall 01:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- I would second most of what has been written above. If you want to be an admin in the future, consider participating more in XfDs, as this will increase your WP namespace editcount and give you experience of the deletion policies, always essential for a would-be admin. I also notice that your mainspace edits are very focused on spelling/grammar corrections and minor edits - this is great, but consider getting involved in some heavier article-writing, as voters at RfA always like to see a diversity of edits. On the plus side, you're clearly very good at civil and helpful interaction with other editors, as per the comments above. Overall, you need to chalk up another 2000 edits or so, with a good balance across namespaces (consider participating in policy discussions to push up your WP talkspace edits) before you're ready for adminship.

Questions
- Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- I am quite proud of how many people I have welcomed. One of my friends wasn't welcomed for over a year, and because of this, they quit editing Wikipedia because they didn't feel part of the community. Because of this, I dedicate at least 30 minutes welcoming new people every day. Every member of Wikipedia counts!
- 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 have been chastised for giving too many smiles in one day, and for welcoming people who then became trolls. Also, I used to Americanize articles, which I no longer do because I learned British spelling as well. I accept my criticism and move on. You can't get better unless you listen.
- Optional question from Zazzer: Have you considered participating in WP:AFD and/or WP:RFA? If not, why not? If so, why have you declined to become involved?
