Wikipedia:Editor review/Terence Ong 2

User:Terence Ong

Let me start off by saying that your two RfA's are your best sources for criticism and feedback about your work on the encyclopedia, which is probably why you haven't received responses to this Editor Review. Taking the concerns that the community expressed in those RfA's to heart is your best way to improve your contributions to the encyclopedia and to earn the confidence and trust of the !voters in RfA. In particular, actively try to address concerns raised in strong oppose votes, which in your case seems to be your maturity.

Basic common sense has to prevail on this issue. Always do your best to work with other editors

in good faith

, and strive to understand other people and their points of view. Other editors, particularly established and experienced ones, can probably offer the best insight of anybody on what you can do to improve the encyclopedia, and their opinions should be respected.

With that said, and after pouring over a thousand of your edits and your talk pages, I really don't have any concerns about maturity at this point. You seem to interact fairly well with other users, and I don't see any incidents in your recent edit history. In addition, nine months have passed since the strong accusations of immaturity in your first RfA, which is plenty of time to remedy that sort of thing.

Anyway, since I assume you'll want to run for RfA again at some point in the future, let me give you my feedback on areas I consider important for an admin (more info on that here).

Edit Count - The wannabe Kate tool is down right now, but your userboxes say 12,000 and I believe it. You have made an amazing number of contributions to our encyclopedia, more than many many other editors. In addition, a lot of these are in admin-related tasks (AfD and RfA). I also see a good number of project edits on Singapore-related topics, and participation in the

Wikipedia:SGpedians' notice board

. Very diverse edit history with a high number of quality edits. I see no problems here.

Activity - You have been active for over a year and are constantly editing. Even two failed RfA's haven't scared you away from Wikipedia; in fact, your editing is as prolific as ever. The volume of comments your talk page receives is testament to your activity, particularly in RfA's.

Little Details - Non-obnoxious sig? Check. Wiki e-mail? Check. Awesome userpage? Check plus; I like it a lot. Edit summaries? Check. Had no trouble browsing your contribs.

Behavior - Looks fine, and has significantly improved since previous RfA's. Hopefully the community will have more confidence in you if and when you run again.

Motivations - Seems pretty clear that you enjoy editing Wikipedia in general and are more than willing to do admin-related tasks and janitorial work. Most of your recent edits fall into this category. Don't see any problems here.

RfA Conduct - Poor in the first one. Fine in the second one. I don't anticipate problems here.

Article Contributions - Prolific. You've created over a hundred articles and are a frequent editor of Singapore-related articles. I don't think anybody can fault you here. ;)

RC Patrol - I don't know if you do RC patrol or just have a bunch of articles on your watchlist, but you definitely do vandal fighting. In addition, concerns about the use of warning templates appear to have been cleared up.

New Page Patrol - I didn't see any of this, but participation in AfD is good enough for me. Of course, it's always hard to tell if a user is doing this anyway, because articles tagged as speedy deletions are... well... speedied. ;)

Project Participation - Exemplary. You're heavily involved on the

Wikipedia:SGpedians' notice board

and are involved in planning a meet-up. You've manually assessed hundreds of Singapore-related articles, placing ratings on talk pages. Keep up the good work! Also an active member of Esperanza.

Admin Pages - Lots of participatin in AfD. You may want to consider participation in other areas as well, to round out your resume. Besides, I imagine AfD gets old after awhile... you were an active AfD participant six months ago in your second RfA!

Images - Another area where you've gone above and beyond the call of duty. Your photos are extremely high-quality and you've managed to amass quite a few of them. Again, great work!

Policy - After a year of contributions and frequent participation in AfD's, I think you've got this down. RfA participation has probably also contributed to this area.

And that pretty much covers it bro. One final thing I'd like to add... take concerns by admins about your account security very seriously. Secure your account, and assure admins who have commented on your talk page that this will never happen again. This could be a significant barrier to adminship if left unresolved; admin tools are too powerful to be misused as part of a prank by your friends.

Best of luck in any future RfA's, and enjoy your WikiBreak (hahaha, you're addicted man, you're supposed to be gone until after the holidays yet you've managed to rack up like 500 edits in the last week!) —Lantoka ^{( talk | contrib)} 02:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Well, I'm actually surpsied that a onsensus hadn't been reached on the Rfa, I'd have supported you easily. Your edit count is insane based on how long you've been here. I would have liked to see more namespace edits (or at least more of those than wikipedia edits, but you do have a lot of both). Overall I see you a lot on the AfD pages, you're definitely helpful there. Overall i can't find any serious problems with you at all. I'll look harder to find some if you want :P --Wizardman 19:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

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

   A:

   Light Rapid Transit (Singapore) which I did a massive cleanup, and hope to style it after Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore). I've edited the latter and improved the quality in a way and its sub-pages as well. I hope to work more on article writing, and to have a better coverage of articles on Wikipedia, with more honourable mentions. For a list, see here

   .

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?

   A: Recently, I was involved in a mass

   Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information
