General note

Could the editors that Handpolk knows from the area they are topic-banned from please back off a bit? I'm not asking this as an WP:AE request or in my capacity as an admin, but just as a favor in good faith to an editor trying to disengage from the topic. Thanks... Zad68 18:04, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

This was lifted. I would like it please to be re-instated. I need a wiki-break. Handpolk (talk) 05:46, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

I've reblocked you for 48 hours starting now. If you would like longer, please say. Have a nice wikibreak. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:49, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

My recent edits

It has come to my attention that editors acting in good faith are on high alert for anything related to Ellen Pao, given the recent events at reddit. In that context, I totally understand why people presumed what they did about my edits. I apologize for assuming bad faith and that people were merely stalking me. A very unfortunate coincidence that the Golden State Warriors are in the NBA Finals, which led me to edit the article of their owner, who happens to be a partner at that firm.

I will work hard to assume good faith in the future, as I understand people are a bit suspicious of my intentions. I would really appreciate it if others can also try to assume good faith in mine. I really am not a Gamergator. I really am not here to spread their lies on Misplaced Pages. Honestly. And I honestly have no interest in going anywhere near that topic.

For a bit of context about the kind of editor I am: I am very proud of what I did here. I saw an article written like an advertisement and I cleaned it up. I occasionally add to articles or even create new ones, like in the case of Greg Penner. But I'm most interested in fixing articles I think are biased. (Which is exactly what I was doing when I got topic banned). So if you see me doing that, please know that is what I have always done. It has nothing to do with ethics in games journalism, something I care not one iota about (just like I could care less about Spokeo). Handpolk (talk) 08:37, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
