Hello. Thank you for your offer. I accept. I joined at the same time as you, however I have problems keeping hold of my fingers and I'm always putting in hasty edit summaries whenever somebody adds something to an article i don't like. Ie ownership issues. I thought if I was adopted by someone they could help me over come that and be more nice to editors who add things i don't like?--I'll bring the food (Talk - Contribs - My Watchlist) 01:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hey. I'm not sure how you would like me to help you with this problem but I shall attempt nevertheless. I think you should always keep in mind that the other user was editing in good faith and is just trying to make wikipedia better. In some cases it could be obvious that he isn't but he will most likely be banned so if he's violating the rules you should just report him, not retaliate if he attacks you and just ignore him until he's taken care of. If someone is editing and just has a different opinion from yours try contacting him and explaining yourself instead of starting a revert war, accusing him of something (even if he did do it). Of course if he doesn't stay civil you can and should point out to him that what he's doing is wrong. Like if he's attacking you point him to WP:NPA or if he's using OR point him to WP:OR but first of all try to work your differences with the other guy, of course without calling him names or anything. If you have an anger management problem, however, I am not a psychologist so wouldn't be able to help you with that. :) Yonatanh 05:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- I probably should avoid captalising as well. I keep doing that. If i have to revert something that's unsourced in one of my "babies", I usually end up TYPING STUPIDLY LIKE THIS.--I'll bring the food (Talk - Contribs - My Watchlist) 15:40, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
That's true, many people take it badly as they see it as "online yelling". I think you should just take it easy as after all it's just wikipedia and you shouldn't really take it to heart too much. Yonatanh 10:55, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
