Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Louis-Charles Damais, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. EuroCarGT 04:45, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

A quick tip on team playing for User:EuroCarGT. By all means seek to help new editors contribute consistently with Wiki norms, but remember two things: (1) your own criticisms and tastes are subject to countercriticisms and opinions; (2) all Wiki editors are presumed to be equals: volunteers, not experts.

In this case, it looks to this middle aged academic as if one undergrad with good intentions has scared away a genuine contributor. So I'd recommend: Be careful with editing text, but be extra-careful "editing" editors. Treat everyone as though they are your superior, let them surprise you pleasantly if they find your assistance to be valuable.

This is an issue all over Wiki, let's see if we can change the culture. Feel free to disagree with me, at Wiki you and I are equals. Best regards. Friedrich Müller (talk) 02:55, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
