• You will antagonise alot of people if you do the bulk of your editing at AfD and mass-nominate pop culture material. Some of the Prisoner material can be sourced. The primary goal is building an encyclopedia. A good place to start is selecting an article you are really interested in and writing a Good Article.

• Much of the material you note as having no sources has no sources now but there will be some available in libraries etc. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Using your recent edit to the McLeod's Daughters article as an example: "McLeod's Daughters has been nominated for, and won, numerous Logie awards including Lissa Chappell who won "Most Popular new Female talent" in 2002 and Arron Jeffery who was awarded "Most popular Actor" in 2004. McLeod's Daughters is nominated for two awards in 2008 including" Most Popular Australian Drama" and Simmone Jade Mackinnon who is nominated for most popular actress.".
  • Remember to be sure to capitalise letters when it is required. It is a very small thing but, when it is done incorrectly, makes the article look a little messy and, to me, makes me doubt the content in it; if you get what I mean. Every word in the name of an award should be capitalised.
  • When you link to Aaron Jeffery, rather than link to the disambiguation page for the surname Jeffery, be specific and link to Aaron Jeffery. **Quotation marks should be directly before and after the quote, instead of " Most Popular Australian Drama", have "Most Popular Australian Drama".
  • I think spelling is very important. When I read an article with bad spelling, like if there are uncapitalised letters, it makes the article harder to read and I tend to doubt the content in the article. You need to be extra vigilant with names which can have various types of different spelling. For example, Arron is spelt Aaron and Lissa is spelt Lisa.
  • Remember to proof read you edits and make sure they make full sense. This sentence ("McLeod's Daughters has been nominated for, and won, numerous Logie awards including Lissa Chappell who won "Most Popular new Female talent""), for example, sounds to me like Lisa Chappell is a variety of Logie Award.

• You recently requested a speedy deletion for Korean immigration to Hawaii with a rationale of CSD A1, a short article lacking context.[1] You made this request approximately one minute after a new editor[2] created this article[3] at my request,[4] and you left him a warning on his talk page.[5] First, the article did not meet CSD A1, and while it was certainly short (having been created as a stub less than a minute after you tagged it), the content was clear and in context of the subject, a subject which is entirely notable, encyclopedic, and supported by dozens of books and hundreds of academic articles. I would ask at this time that you refrain from tagging any and all new articles for speedy deletion until you become more familiar with the process. Instead of tagging new articles for speedy, please try to help copy edit and expand them first; you could just as easily have fixed the formatting, added a hawaii stub message, categories, and helped expand the article. That you chose to delete a legitimate article without first helping to improve it, raises concerns. Viriditas (talk) 12:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

   My Home and Away edits as it appears i have stoped people from posting information about characters which have absolutely no source. Untill i steped in it seemed that people were just making things up and people in society were believing them. I found another forum which quoted wikipedia about information that might not be true

3. 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?

   People do like to continue to write unsourced information on the Home and Away page however i just simply remove it and let the editor know why. I dont fell that any stress has really be caused so far.
