The da Vinci Barnstar | |
| This is for single-handedly preventing an edit war in which I most certainly would have made an ass of myself (along with the other guy and probably half the group). It was getting ugly- then you came along. Your solution was a pretty good one. We all thank you for your arbitration! Chahax 02:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC) |

Why I do Misplaced Pages
Misplaced Pages is an excellent example of how knowledge can be socially constructed. The editing and discussion tools constitute a collaborative knowledge building environment that stands as an alternative model to threaded asynchronous conferences, collaborative annotation systems, blogs, and software development systems.
What I do on Misplaced Pages
I'm a participant in Misplaced Pages:Disambiguation and Misplaced Pages:Recent changes patrol. I also seem to be pretty good at negotiating and mediating disputes before they turn into edit wars. In real life I often act as impromptu mediator when two people are arguing, it seems to be a natural talent of mine, or my background in psychology. So now I find myself searching wiki for potential edit wars and so far being that neutral voice of reason.
