[edit] Notes & Reminders To Myself
- Mind your head.
- Try not to be a dick. Try HARD.
- The universe/wikiverse does not revolve around you.
- Beware the The Wrong Version!!!
- Don't forget the wisdom of Durova.
- Don't engage in necrosadistic animal training (thanks, Elaragirl!)
- When one engages a troll in a "troll battle"; one, in essence, becomes a troll. Perhaps it's really not that cut and dried; but it's good to at least try to live that motto. Or put more simply, you shouldn't complain about sharks when you're the one holding the chum bucket...
- When you start taking Wikipedia too personally (or too seriously), take a Wikibreak.
- Your mission with vandals is "Revert, warn, move on". Move up to "Revert, warn, involve admins, move on" only when necessary. Please don't forget the "move on" part.
- Keep a civil tongue in your, uh, head. Or civil fingers on your keyboard/mouse. Whatever. Be civil. Especially to jerks. Kill them with kindness.
- Do not insult the vandals. Pity them? Yes. But don't insult them. Wait, did I just insult them, a little? Damn.
- Do not bite the newcomers. I was once a snarky newcomer, with a quick off-topic comment, joke or jibe...I sort of still am. Growing pains are rough, and learning "the way things work" around here can involve a steep learning curve. Listen, and be kind, even when they are not. Think about how you would have liked to be treated when you were young and tender, and act accordingly. Put yourself in their place. Not so comfy without all your tools, knowledge and tricks, is it?
- Tips for the angry new user (thanks, Gamaliel & E. Sn0 =31337!)
- Every day, take some time to smell the flowers.
- Don't forget to LAUGH!
