User:~delta/Mistakes

I am not infallible, of course, and I have of course made mistakes throughout my Wikicareer, as have other Wikipedians. I admit that I was responsible for every single one of those mistakes and I find that writing about them here on my user subpage is a good way to reflect on those experiences myself.

2023

 * I admit, in the early days of my editing in 2023 I did have a pretty bad case of Overeager Projectspace Newbie Syndrome, exemplified best by . I made too many comments at ANI and edited in areas where I lacked competence in and unknowingly caused disruption and drama. I hold myself accountable 100% for all disruption caused by doing this and apologize to all parties which I have inconvinienced during this time period. The Eastern Europe and Poland-Lithuania topic area is a contentious one, and as a new editor with little to no knowledge on the subject I caused disruption due to my incompetence in the topic area. Plus, reporting to ANI only exacerbated the situation and worsened the drama. I regret doing this, and ever since that moment I've tried to improve my editing by staying away from noticeboards unless absolutely necessary and making sure to understand what I'm getting into before editing about a certain subject.
