Rehman
Rehman ( talk · contribs · count) Hi. I have been around since mid 2008, and have been an admin at Commons since late 2010. I have been a very active content writer until about a year ago when I changed my job (and had to cut down on wikitime). Since then, I was only able work at deletions, and attend any email/talkpage inquiries that came up on my watchlist, as these was the quickest to work on. During the past few months, my local edits were largely low, but I was quite active globally right throughout since my joining in '08.
I have written, created, and improved a lot of articles and templates and I'm very familiar with policies across en.wiki and wikicommons (I was also behind the creation of a handful of policy pages at Commons including COM:CSD, etc). My global contribs exceed 19k (which includes a fair chunk of deleted edits as a result of working on deletions). I was identified by the WMF in early 2011, and known personally by a handful of other editors and admins.
Please take your time to review my activity. Reh man 15:46, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Questions
- What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Are there any about which you are particularly pleased? Why?
- The three largest areas of contributions I have made on Wikipedia includes article writing, template creation, and file transfers to Commons. The articles that I am largely involved in writing relates mostly to renewable energy. A subject that I am quite familiar with. I have also designed many templates across Wikipedia and Commons, with the largest on Wikipedia being {{ Infobox power station}}. Nearly all articles relating to renewable energy in Sri Lanka (my current location) are either entirely written or largely expanded by myself. This is something which I am particularly pleased with.
- Have you been in editing disputes 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? If you have never been in an editing dispute, explain how you would respond to one.
- I have been in moderate disputes long time ago (>3 years ago). All parties were able to come to an understanding, and no hard feelings were left bottled up. Open/matured discussions were the key in quick and peaceful dispute solving.
- What do you want to get out of this editor review? Are you thinking of running for adminship? Would you like feedback on a specific area of your editing? Or would you just like a general review of your edits?
- In addition to obtaining general feedback, this review is mainly to bring out and study any unresolved issue that may not be a favouring subject during a future
RFA.
At present, a large proportion of admin actions I do at wikicommons include deletions (page and files), protections, history merging, history splitting, and rights assigning. I used to tag a lot of files here at en.wiki for deletion (over CSD F8) after transferring, but that largely seemed to be a waste of time, considering that I could have easily deleted them myself if I had the necessary rights.
In addition to other tasks here at Wikipedia, I believe I can make significant contributions at the en.wiki pending deletions with the time I have, along with added value as there seems to be fewer admins in my timezone.

Reviews
- Rehman has always been a kind, civil, and cool-headed whenever I've worked with him at Commons and it seems to bethe same cross-wiki. Great job! Sportsguy17 :) ( click to talk • contributions) 17:56, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
