Bidgee ( talk · contribs) I've been an editor since October 2005 and have made 16,680 contributions to Wikipedia. I revert vandalism, fix articles (by adding templates, content and sources), tag copy violation images also been fixing my own articles and also edit outside my interest area. Some time in the future I would like to become an Admin helping out on blocking vandals (including proven sock puppets), protecting articles (when needed), as well as reviewing articles listed for speedy deletion and closing debates on image/article deletions.

  • From your contributions I can see that you're a decent, hard-working editor. Many of your edits are vandal-fighting, but you also get in a lot of content adding. And you understand the value of adequate sourcing (that alone makes you one of the Good Guys in my book). My two suggestions are- 1) use edit summaries for every edit. In fact, I'd turn on that gizmo in preferences that prompts you to if you forget. 2) Don't get so worked up about a block log full of bad blocks. I'm sure it's annoying to have that rubbish permanently inscribed into your record and you have every right to be aggrieved, but at least there's also evidence of your innocence. If you want to run for adminship, harping on about these little injustices will do you more harm than a few hasty opposes from people who haven't read your block log properly. Best of luck and good editing, Reyk YO! 09:13, 20 March 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Hello! Main main suggestions concer such comments as that in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Undermountain. Per WP:PERNOM, try to elaborate on a unique stance in a discussion that adds something new to the building of consensus there. Similarly with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Breuner Airfield, please note WP:JNN, i.e. please explain per User:Stifle/Don't say non-notable. Anyway, I hope that helps. Sincerely, -- A Nobody My talk 17:26, 22 March 2009 (UTC) reply
  • My only contact with Bidgee was when he left a series of misdirected and utterly biased comments and blocking warnings on my talk page. I had been the subject of a bad-faith attack by an out-of-control editor AussieLegend, who reverted thoughtlessly, was unhelpful, argumentative and engaged in ad hominem attacks in his comments to me on various talk pages including his own, and then deleted my own comments in response which were certainly more constructive. Bidgee is apparently a "mate" of AussieLegend, and engaged in bullying on my talk page, accusing me of things that I clearly didn't do, whereas it should have been AussieLegend who should have been chastised. Bidgee seems to be the very worst kind of editor. 86.9.117.51 ( talk) 00:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Those warning I gave 86.9.117.51 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) are valid. By saying that you never did those things stated in the warning is totally incorrect. You called AussieLegend edits vandalism [1] which is really bad faith and uncivil which you then did again on the user's talk page [2] which then then stated for them to "Stay out of your way" [3] the IP also make another edit in which AussieLegend removes (undid) but the IP reverts back [4] which is against WP:BLANKING since editors are free to remove anyones comments. Also I wasn't the only one to warn you [5]. Bidgee ( talk) 02:03, 1 April 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Please watch your WP:NPA and WP:CIVIL. Calling someone a "very worst kind of editor" isn't exactly the best thing to do in a case like this. If you have a problem or concern, please take it over to your/his user talk page. Thanks! Cheers. I' mperator 00:23, 1 April 2009 (UTC) reply

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    Helping to improve the Wagga Wagga, New South Wales and Darwin, Northern Territory but I can't take the full credit on those articles. Bidgee ( talk) 08:25, 20 March 2009 (UTC) reply
  2. 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?
  1. Been in a number of conflicts but I now deal when the conflicts then I use to by continuing to discuss with the editor(s) involved but if I was an Admin and became involved in a conflict I would let an uninvolved Admin take over. Bidgee ( talk) 08:25, 20 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Leeton, New South Wales The edits made to this page were to make the information more accurate. The information was written in 2006, and things have clearly changed since then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Motioncity1 ( talkcontribs) 16:44, 24 March 2009 (UTC) reply

  • I'm just wondering what has this got to do with editor review? Bidgee ( talk) 00:16, 25 March 2009 (UTC) reply
