== I suggest you take the concerns on ANI on board == | |||
I had a brief look at the ANI thread concerning you (which is currently archived although there's some suggestion it may be reopened) and even if nothing further comes out of it, I strongly suggest you take the concerns on board. Whatever the 'wrongs' of others you've been involved with, it seems clear several uninvolved people, upon looking at the history, have concerns about your behaviour and your explainations generally haven't helped (if anything they appear to have made things worse). Do remember that[REDACTED] is a collobrative project which means you have to work constructively with others, even those you may disagree with and sometimes have to agree to disagree and accept things aren't going to be how you prefer. Also, even if you have valid concerns, approaching them in an excessively aggressive manner is rarely productive. And if you do feel they need to be raised, make sure you do it in the right place and have evidence to back it up. Sometimes stuff you've worked on may be deleted or removed, try not to take it personally. Finally, if someone asks you specifically not to post to their talk page because of disagreements in the past, you generally should not do so unless absolutely necessary. | |||
The reason I'm writing this is because from the little I saw, it looks a lot like you may find action taken against you in the near future if you continue down the same path as before even though you are a productive editor in many ways. Since this is just intended to be friendly advice and as I've said I haven't actually looked very well in to the situation, there's no real point trying to offer any explaination to me for your actions, but you're obviously free to reply if you wish. Remember what I said at the beginning though, if multiple experience editors with little involvement with you have serious concerns of your behavaiour as seemed to be the case at the ANI thread, this usually means you should take their advice on board, even if you feel they are wrong. | |||

I suggest you take the concerns on ANI on board
I had a brief look at the ANI thread concerning you (which is currently archived although there's some suggestion it may be reopened) and even if nothing further comes out of it, I strongly suggest you take the concerns on board. Whatever the 'wrongs' of others you've been involved with, it seems clear several uninvolved people, upon looking at the history, have concerns about your behaviour and your explainations generally haven't helped (if anything they appear to have made things worse). Do remember that[REDACTED] is a collobrative project which means you have to work constructively with others, even those you may disagree with and sometimes have to agree to disagree and accept things aren't going to be how you prefer. Also, even if you have valid concerns, approaching them in an excessively aggressive manner is rarely productive. And if you do feel they need to be raised, make sure you do it in the right place and have evidence to back it up.
