This page is /Archive 2 and contains the material from 2009-01-01 thru 2009-04-20.
During the first quarter of 2009, i made about a thousand edits, and finally began to "boldly" attempt actions beyond "minor" copyedits. As an inexperienced Wikipedian whose prior online experience was of the sordid MySpace/ LiveJournal/ fan forums type of stuff, i made many stupid and ignorant mistakes. I involved myself in an edit-war, then learned about WP:CIVILITY the hard way, as i was rude and abrasive to several people, and was temporarily blocked for one week as a result. On the bright side, i helped to expose two editors who were blatantly acting with Conflict Of Interest; i learned about all the pillars, policies, guidelines, and noticeboards; i learned how both informal and formal Mediation are conducted; and i found the interesting Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies. If i could go back in time, i would avoid any of my unCivil actions, and i would be better about always keeping Good Faith in my interactions with other Wikipedians. Despite the negative impact of conflicting with those two people with COI, i had a positive learning experience about the limitations of my own skills, and the value of always giving people a friendly "benefit of the doubt".
