RfA

Hey, before I vote on your RfA, I have a (admittedly rather mean) set of questions for you.

1. Out of all your edits here, which one do you regret most?
2. Why do you regret it?
3. What would you do differently today?

Why don't you post that on the RfA talk page? It would help others then as well. poke | talk 12:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

True. Just felt that asking a personal question belongs more on the talk page. Jon, you can move it over there or leave it, whatever you prefer. --Xeeron 14:18, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I'm tired of looking through my contribs so I'll just grab something (I'm sure there's something I regret more, but I can't recall): User_talk:Ariyen/Archive4#Blood_Washes_Blood. I handled the situation a little too roughly, both for the original poster and Ariyen. I made a quick glance at the situation and a quick decision, and then I got snippy at Ariyen when he reverted me.

Any changes would therefore have to be two-fold: first a change for how I deal with peoples' contribs and then how I deal with those who disagree with me. The first could be changed by (like the final decision) figuring out the correct location and maybe change some wording (aka less liberal use of revert). The second could be fixed by going more into a perspective-searching mode and getting the underlying reasons for the revert (and explain my own reasons better). --JonTheMon 15:54, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Meh, I felt stumped, too. It got moved to the right place and finally settled, when I left a message on that user's talk page (to get them to quit posting their 'note' on the wrong page). I think you did well as obviously you meant well. We all make mistakes and no one is perfect. :-) -- riyen ♥ 19:51, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
