26 July 2010 to 3 July 2012 - Problems with my etiquette (which I reacted to poorly)

Edit summaries
Thank you for your many contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed, however, that many of your recent edit summaries appear to contain hostile wording and language. We all have bad days, certainly, but I am concerned by the fact that this pattern of verbal hostility is consistent across several weeks' worth of edits. Please keep in mind that civility is one of the five pillars of Wikipedia and that the use of overtly hostile language&mdash;even in a context as relatively "behind the scenes" as an edit summary&mdash;is inconsistent with that fundamental principle. I appreciate the fact that most cases appear not to involve any personal attacks directed toward other editors, but some, such as "Who the fuck wrote that? "Specific name"? Mental retardation much?" do cross that line; and in any case, please understand that summaries such as "Fucking non-neutral bullshit." and "This article is shit. Shit. Utter, complete and total shit." are non-constructive, unnecessary, and potentially repellent to other editors. I urge you to practice greater moderation in your language to help keep Wikipedia a welcoming, collaborative, and&mdash;above all&mdash;civil environment. Thank you for your kind attention. &mdash;Bill Price(notyourbroom) 07:18, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Further to the above ANI report, the derogatory language and combative attitude you've displayed in your edit summaries is completely unacceptable. Because this is the first time it's been raised with you I'll not block your account, but if edit summaries like those above (and visible in your contribution history) continue, you can expect to be blocked without further warning. Please review the civility and site policy links in Bill Price's first post, and try to conduct yourself in a manner consistent with our editor conduct policies in future.

 * Hi. Obviously "crap" (HTML5, Egg timer) is less offensive than "fuck", but maybe you could still be a bit more careful. Using inappropriate language when self-deprecating too indicates it's your style but probably wouldn't be seen as a good excuse! Cheers. -- Trevj (talk) 12:09, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
