WP:Assume good faith
Hi. One of our cardinal principles here is that we should, whenever possible, "assume good faith" of other editors. In this spirit, I'm going to assume that you were unaware that the username you chose "Elfbastard", is sending up flares which announce "I am not here to improve the encyclopedia, I am probably a troll or a vandal." Given that, you might want to consider a different username.I'll be standing by if you need help, watching your edits to make sure that, as a "newbie", you don't have any problems.

 * Ooops, there's another flare! This one says: "My account was created a few days ago, but I haven't edited yet, I am probably a sleeper sock, because most people create an account in order to edit with it!" BMK (talk) 20:19, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
 * You know, I don't think my last post was a good example of assuming good faith. Thinking about it, I bet something like this happened: you created your account, fully expecting to start in to edit productively and help improve the encyclopedia, but then something unexpected called you away.  You had to work on a new project for Houses for Humanity, or give blood at your local blood drive, or maybe your local river hit flood stage and you've been busy rescuing people from rooftops.  I just know it was something like that, and as soon as things settle down, we'll get all kinds of good stuff from you.  I can't wait! BMK (talk) 06:07, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
