TheNewPhobia ( talk · contribs) – Hello.
I have been editing actively since May 2007, piling up over 7,500 edits, nominating hundreds of pages for speedy deletion, and reverting thousands of vandalisms to this wonderful encyclopedia. I have went through several RfA's in the past, all failing very miserably. Those RfA's were failed mainly because I had recently messed up in a way I had never done before.
Very recently, I had messed up in likely the worst way anyone ever could. I continually reverted a constructive edit on the Scott Slutzker page, by removing a {{ hangon}} tag that was supposed to be there. This was because I wasn't in the best of moods, so I was quite stubborn. I started a revert as it was in the wrong place, but then I thought, "Why didn't I just fix it and move on?" However, my mind quickly brushed this thought away when I saw another similar edit. I reverted due to a bad habit I had, until now. If the next-to-most-recent edit previously was a revert, and the most recent edit was made by the editor who was reverted before it, it should be reverted. Most of the time, this worked. However, I realized after this that this was one of the stupidest habits I had on wiki or real life, and I feel like I've driven away an editor, and feel horribly about this. I now check each edit and do my absolute best to not get trigger-happy like I did that night.
Since joining Wikipedia, I have realized no matter what can happen to people here, it's an excellent encyclopedia. I know people mess up, and I have many times. And I apologize for any inconveniences that I have ever caused anyone. I have developed some friendships here in which some are stronger than my real-life friendships. Wikipedia has changed my life, and I'm ready to make a long-lasting commitment to this excellent encyclopedia. Thank you for all !votes and criticism. -phobia don't be afraid to drop a line! 00:28, 30 November 2008 (UTC) reply
