Rock drum (talk · contribs · count) I've been on Wikipedia since late October last year. I'm an active member of several WikiProjects. I'm currently working on becoming a writer for the Wikipedia Signpost. Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 17:27, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
Most of my article space edits are to do with Children's literature or music. In Wikipedia space, you'll mainly find me on my WikiProjects or the Wikipedia Signpost.
Have you been in any disputes 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 havn't been in any real edit disputes. I got into a pretty tiny one on Template:CHERUB with RTY1998 a while back.

Reviews

I think most of your edits seem fine. You work very little in article space, but I guess that's OK. The only think that suprised me was Book:Scouting_for_Girls. A Wikipedia book about a rock band that's essentially a one hit wonder, which doesn't actually make much of a book at all? It's just articles about the bands albums and singles, all quite unsourced. It strikes me as an experiment or test, and should probably be moved to user space. Everything else is fine as far as I can see, you are clearly a useful contributor. Keep it up! --OpenFuture (talk) 11:05, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing me. I've tried to make a lot of edits in article space but I also quite enjoy working on projects, too. My main worry about moving the book is that it's tagged by a WikiProject (WikiProject Scouting for Girls) who, I presume, will not want to tag a book in userspace. Should I remove the tag?

Well you can discuss it with other people more involved in Wikipedia Books than I am, but I think so. --OpenFuture (talk) 12:35, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I like your contributions, and I've noted (contrary to OpenFuture's claim) that you have created a reasonable number of articles. However, I have to take issue with them. Our general notability guideline requires articles to have multiple, reliable, independent sources. In many articles not only is this not the case, but the information itself isn't referenced to such places. Cache In Trash Out, for example, is entirely referenced to the overarching org's website. The Heroes of Olympus is similarly almost entirely referenced to a primary source, American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording is largely unreferenced, I'm not sure if the source given for Secret Army (novel) is reliable, and so on. I'd advise giving WP:GNG and WP:V a read. Ironholds (talk) 15:28, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
