- You're very solid, in fact, I'd think that you'd make a pretty good admin. You really don't have anything to correct, but you may want to expand out of AFD's and move to other Wikipedian functions: WP:RFA, WP:RFC, or one of the other XfD's. A marvelous job you've done. I'll be keeping an eye on you. :) bibliomaniac 1 5 00:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Questions
- Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- 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?
- My first major conflict was Larry Darby. The other big one was an AfD ( Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Rhode_Island_Route_11) that came out of my article merge backlog work.
- I'm familiar with popups. But what do the other scripts in your monobook.js do?

- There are three other scripts in my monobook.js:
- User:Omegatron/monobook.js/addlink.js makes it easy to add javascript functions to links in your toolbox (left side of screen). It is used by the other two scripts.
- User:Gimmetrow/fixRefs.js moves footnotes outside of punctuation per WP:REF
- User:Selket/quikSummary.js inserts a pretyped edit summary with one click. This is useful if you are making lots of repetitive edits. You can use copy/paste for text you want to add and then just click the "Quik Summary" link to add a canned edit summary. I used this recently when I was migrating some pages from {{ drugbox}} to {{ drugbox-mab}} (e.g., here). It's not really ready for public consumption, but if you want help setting it up on account, leave a note on my talk page and I'll help you get it working.

- How did you go about selecting the scripts that you placed on your monobook page?
The Transhumanist 21:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- The first two were suggested to me by Gimmetrow after I proposed a bot to make these footnote fixes. I began using the script, and I also added the functionality to AWB with the help of Mets501 when it applies general fixes. I had the idea for the third while making lots of repetitive edits, so I wrote it.
- What other tools (including internal and external) do you utilize in working with/on Wikipedia?
The Transhumanist 21:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- I use AWB when there is something specific I need to do with it like fixing double redirects or links to a disambiguation page. I also run SelketBot which is written in Python using pywikipedia.
- What determines what articles you work on? (How do you decide, find, look them up, etc.?)

- There are several ways I choose which articles to contribute to:
- What interests me -- There are topics that I am interested in that I enjoy contributing to. Go (board game), drug pages, neuroanatomy pages (like Vestibule of the ear), for example.
- Problems I find -- Usually stuff I run across, either error, which I fix, or conflicts, which I tend to stick my foot in like Larry Darby, Royal Rife, or DBFS. I have had differing degrees of success in helping to cool the situation.
- Backlogs -- For some reason, I really enjoy clearing backlogs. Old merge requests have been my most recent past-time.
