I'm not the most active editor – in the last week Wellsworth96, Milks26, and Thzar (maybe the NZ IP as well) all beat me. It may seem like I make a lot of edits, but the reality is that I often go several days between editing (rest of the world doesn't stop for the wiki) and then end up editing quite a few pages at once.

I leave alone a lot of pages, even when I don't agree with the edits. When I do edit, I don't do it to make other editors feel bad. Like everyone else, I edit to try to improve the wiki. If I edit a page you've recently edited, that's not meant as an insult or an attempt to 'mod' you or 'rule' the wiki. When someone edits a recent contribution I've made, I don't attribute nefarious intentions to their edit. We're all here to improve the wiki.

There are many ways to contribute. Some people add a lot of images. Some people add paragraphs of text. Some people add small details. Others do copy-editing and cleanup. We all work together to improve the wiki. I'm sorry if you don't like other people c/e text you add, but that's how wikis work. I don't attack how others choose to contribute. I don't want to be enemies with any one.

As I mentioned elsewhere, something we can all do better is start discussions earlier instead of clicking undo-undo-undo-undo-etc. Generally on wikis, when two or more users disagree on a edit, the page is reverted to pre-disagreed-edit state while the discussion is happening. Wikipedia has a great page on how such issues can be handled.
