Feedback

Hi, as per your request I've had a quick look over your recent contributions but not in great detail as some seem a little complex to understand. You seem to be taking on a lot of behind the scenes action, if you are relatively recent this is unusual as most editors would need a more solid set of contributions to articles before doing this gnomic stuff. It looks more as if this is not your first account, if so, it would be nice to have some context.

Some of your edits seemed odd:

• adding a {{Spamusername}} to an old indef blocked account diff

This seems a bit of a waste of time to me, there are an awful lot of blocked accounts where the talk pages were never tidied up. Unless they present a confusing hazard, leaving them blank or at least minimal seems sufficient. It's okay to sort them out but probably a better investment of time to advise active vandals on how to behave.

• diff adding a helpme tag to Jimbo Wales's sub-page

I think you meant to get help for the contributor to that page, this is a bit confusing as the template really ought to be added to the talk page of the user who needs help rather than amid a discussion.

• I puzzled as to your corrections to User:Excirial/Blocknote, it looks like another editor's scratchpad, so I'm not sure if you are doing valid gnomic tidying or monkeying with someone else's notes.

Anyway, that's some quick feedback. In summary you are dug deep in the machine, nothing wrong with that but probably an idea to come up for air and make some straightforward improvements to article space content. Cheers Fæ (talk) 17:46, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
