Seddon
Mediation cabal
got my first DYK article. Currently on Wikipedia, I am working on:
- Getting Hurricane Henriette (2007), something of a working side project, to GA status.
- Mediating a case for the Mediation Committeeand also to continue mediating for MedCab.
- Creating my next hopeful DYK
I would like to know where i could be looking to improve over the next 3 or so months. ŠeDDøΛ talk 20:22, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

- Review from Mitch32 - Seddon, you are one of my best friends on Wiki, and I've decided to take the time to review you today. You're making great contributions all around and are certainly useful in mediating. Other than the hopeful future adminship, I would love to see you be on the Mediation Commitee at some point. There's really not much more to say but good luck man! You're great, and we know it well. Cya later.Mitch32contribs 21:08, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Review from Juliancolton (talk · contribs) — Hey Seddon. I know you well, so I'll give a quick review. First, as Mitch said, your work for MedCab is great, and it'd be good to see you on MedCom someday. The Henriette article you worked hard on is looking great! It's good to see that you have around 100% edit summary useage, and you should try to keep that up. The vandal fighting work you do is good, as well. The only thing I can think of is you should try to make more mainspace edits and less userspace edits, but it's fine as it is. I think adminship is right arount the corner, mate!

- Thanks for the review JC and Mitch. I just thought id pick up on the comment you raised with the amount of userspace edits i have. The one thing i tend to do is do a lot of sandbox work before posting into mainspace. This is especially true when it comes to template work/creation. Something that can be seen from interiot's tool when you look at where those edits are, 200 coming from 2 sandboxes. Seddσn talk 21:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, but when you move a sandbox article to mainspace, all the edits change to mainspace as well. ;)In any event, that's fine. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 22:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

- Review from XfDs and noticeboards. Your voice of reason will server you well in those situations. Other than that, keep on the straight and narrow and avoid crossing AGK (lulz!). MBisanz talk 20:24, 6 July 2008 (UTC)]

Questions
- Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- Although I do not see myself as a strong article editor I think getting WP:DR. My most recent closed casewas originally an area where one user was singled out for mentoring and no real ground had been gained with solving the problem. When the cased was closed, an article improvement drive had been set up with one article reaching GA status and work is ongoing with the other articles involved.

- 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?
- Being a mediator means I have been involved greatly in various disputes from the dispute resolutionside of things but I suppose the best example of an instance where I was put under greatest stress was when I was accused of being sock puppeteer back in April. It can be very difficult to remain calm and to keep a clear head in these sort of situations but I found that by keeping in communication with the filer of the sock puppet case and getting advice from other people was the best thing to do. This is often the best to do in any difficult situation whether it be a dispute or a decision you have to make and in my opinion one of the most important things to do on wiki. Talking and discussing with people I think is something that I would do in similar disputes and just making sure you keeping a cool head and if an any point I felt that it was becoming difficult, its best to just walk away and cool down.
