Coming to terms with my editing mistakes
Normally I don't get sloppy and all, and i dont really like bringing attention upon myself, but this I need to let out my chest: Although I've been helpful to this wiki, I can't help but notice mistakes I've been making when editing articles. Most of these were me breaking the style manual and general unconcise writing, plus occasional typos. I just want to apologize for continuously making these goofs in articles, that's something I really need to work on a lot more. Not calling myself a bad editor, I just also focus on my cons, because they're AS important as my pros. Of course I won't let this take me down, but this bothers me so much and that's why I want to apologize... with this said, I will take a break from editing until I have a better mindset, now I feel too insecure about my editing skills. I'll still be poppin around the discord server. Just need to get some stuff done like the development section of even correct some edits i made in the past. Actually now that I think about it, I think the dev section is finished, aside from some cleanup I got every crucial point done. Tell me if it's fine to put on the page. Alright, thank you for coming to my Ted talk.--SpiroThe96th (talk) 07:11, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- Spiro, there's nothing you need to apologize for. We all make mistakes and no one's perfect. If you sweat too much on the tiny details like that, you lock up, feel frustrated and can't find enjoyment in doing what you love. You'll find that you improve naturally as you observe and make edits, but there's no shame in making a few mistakes here and there. No one's asking you to be perfect on your first try; be it the base of a page, a major update or a simple addition, any constructive contribution is always welcome, and a wiki's a collaborative effort where we all got each other's backs. Fixing small mistakes is really only a formality; sure, parts of your edits may be changed – either as they happen or down the line – but I don't value you less as an editor just because you got a few letters wrong or formatted one thing incorrectly. To err is human; to forgive, divine. That being said, I hope you rest well in your break!
- Also, the development section looks all good to me. Any small mistakes there are bound to happen with an edit of that size, so please don't sweat it! Thank you for finally updating that section on the main game page! Afreetoplaynoob (talk) 13:51, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hey Noob, thank you for this. It means a lot, I appreciate it. I know I should not be hard on myself, I'm just feeling a bit frustrated that i repeat the same mistakes more and more times. And even if I'm not breaking the rules, this still bugs me, and because of my frustration, I'll take a small break until I have a better mindset, as I already said. Again, your support means a lot, and I'm just glad to be helping on this wiki, thank you so much. Normally I don't get this sloppy but anyone has one of those days, I guess. I'll just take some time out and chill. I just tend to get insecure for different reasons every so often, something I need to get more under control, and I'm still working on it. I'll still continue stick around the place from time to time, so this is not a departure. Mostly I'll be active on the Discord server. Again, I appreciate the support Noob, I really needed this. Thanks man, you and the others are great admins, keep it up.--SpiroThe96th (talk) 14:48, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- Tho another reason I'll take a break from editing articles is because of school, as I have lots of homework and tests to prepare for, so there's that.--SpiroThe96th (talk) 15:18, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- Alright, Spiro. Rest easy, and good luck on your tests! Afreetoplaynoob (talk) 16:03, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
