 * It appears that generally your spelling is superior to that of native speakers, probably because you try harder to be correct. (I would note however that in your statement above, you use editions when you mean additions.) You do need to improve your syntax and grammar. Some of that will come just by reading more English text, but I would suggest using whatever tools are available. Whatever your limitations with English, you should continue to edit in the English Wiki: if you get the grammar wrong, someone will fix it. Keep in mind that you may annoy people and that they may not always be nice about it. Just ignore it. You could also propose language on the talk page and ask that other editors correct it for grammar and the like. You might also ask if they will explain their changes, as that will help you learn.


 * As to the conflicts such as the one you allude to, I have some advice. When you may have a bias and someone states or implies that your edits are POV, stop and take it seriously. This is especially hard when someone is curt, or even overtly rude, but you should do some self-evaluation. If you determine your edit is not biased, explain why it is not on the talk page. Most importantly, find some support for your edit from a reliable source before adding it again. Adding a fact tag to your edit is not enough. Even Spanish-language web sources might be okay (foreign sources are a little outside my knowledge of policy, but I have seen them around). -Rrius (talk) 11:40, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

 Questions


 * 1) Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * Yes, when I translate the biography of writers and literature movements from Spanish, because I am doing something to make them known in the English and from this, to other wiki projects in other languages that surely will take from English and not from Spanish
 * 1) Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * Recently I had a conflict with an user after I translate Medellín that is a feature article in Spanish. The guy concluded that I was trying to hide information in what is related to violence in the city. Actually I was not interested in the matter, since I think the numbers are there and can be consulted and violence is something to me relative. His editions trying "to fix" the problem was seen by me in a good move, because I thought it was a good work and help to complete the article. I was more worry for my spellings. However, my opinions about violence in Colombia, Europe and US caused that he went against me saying that I was altering information and saying very rude and unpolite expressions to my work. You can check the history of the discussion. Besides that, no other conflict so far. I realized also that my work is a little alone. Maybe it is because I use to work in subjects related to Colombia and I see few Colombian wikipedians active in English. About the rude guy of the "violence", I dealt as I always do in es:wikipedia: first I do not answer with insults, however I share my opinions. Sometimes my opinions can sound as I am attacking a group or society like in this conflict, but it is not true, I like people. What I want to recall is the attention on certain situations that many times are seen from a point of view unknowing other positions.
