# Of your contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
#: I'm particularly proud of ] which I began in 2006, and dove right back into upon returning. 200 edits later, it's (hopefully) going to get through it's third ] now, and I'll be pushing ] next for FAC, followed by ], which I'll be doing with ], and my eye on a couple others after that for FA, and actually have gotten a couple requests to get ''other'' things up there. I'm a terrible copyeditor, though, and you can see that I routinely misuse or abuse the English language. So, I will shamelessly beg, borrow, cheat, steal, offer to trade, and cry for copyediting help! I'd love to help out on reviewing FAs or GAs, but again, that copyediting thing is my Achille's heel. I'm particularly proud of getting ] to GA, since some of the sources were... challenging to find in order to build it. They were for many years relatively "underground" in the sourcing sense of the word.
#: I like to think after being around since 2005 and for ages in the ] that I have a clue on policy discussion and meta-type things, and I hope it shows most of the time.
#: Along the way, I became on ] which I'm extremely proud of. I tend to focus in and specialize on flickr and copyvio issues related to that. I had applied for OTRS to help on these, as I'm (I hope) knowledgeable on copyright matters related to media and wanted to help on the perpetually backlogged Commons permissions queues. . <font color="0D670D" face="Georgia, Helvetica">]</font> (<font color="#156917">]</font>)(<font color="#156917">]</font>) 16:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

# Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
#: I'm unfortunately tied into a (now thankfully superceded) rather troublesome and ] RFAR ] way, way back in 2006. Relative ancient history, now. I saw things weren't going to what I perceived as fair or right, so I made sure I was blocked afterwards in a stupid protest of trying to be as outrageous as possible with my final 2006 edits (it's all in my contribs, and all ancient). I've since apologize at length for slamming the doors pretty hard in the summer of 2006, but as of yet the two people who I slammed the door haven't yet acknowledged that, which I wasn't expecting. Again, all ancient history to me.
#: After ] was selected as John McCain's VP running mate, I, like about 99% of Misplaced Pages all at once began working on her article. That has now turned into another RFAR due to some pretty wild wheel warring, that I had nothing to do with. I laid out a bunch of and proposals that were well-received. I don't really have any other real conflicts on here. <font color="0D670D" face="Georgia, Helvetica">]</font> (<font color="#156917">]</font>)(<font color="#156917">]</font>) 16:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Comment''' I see huge disconnect (or development) between the personalities behind the account pre and post block. I think a common feature in both incarnations is that you are very much you own man and are very idealistic; it would seem that after some (admitally severe noob errors), you have grown into and adopted well to the social norms here, and although you remain a vocal critic, you are now a valued member of the community. How do you think you have developed in reaching this stage, or is it a matter of being socialised into a very specific but necessary set of group norms, that to most would seem, at first, 'odd'? (eg if you lived by "CIV" or "ASGF" in RL you would not get very far).

Following, are you ''generally'' willing to afford such second chances to other (current, former, or inbetween ;)) banned editors? ] (]) 23:37, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
