About me

Hello, and welcome to my user page! I'm Safehaven86. I began editing on Misplaced Pages in October 2011. I liked the place, and decided to stay. I hope you'll drop me a line if you want to collaborate or if you have any questions.

"Be yourself, everyone else is already taken." –Oscar Wilde

No girls allowed

From The New York Review of Books, in an article titled Misplaced Pages's Woman Problem: "Around 90 percent of Misplaced Pages editors are men, and it shows." I'm a member of the 10%, and from my experience, I can see why women are less inclined to edit. It can feel like an aggressive, testosterone-fueled boy's club around here. I try to keep my chin up, although it's remarkable the amount of incivility that long-time male editors are able to get away with on Misplaced Pages. Given the conduct of some of these long-time male editors, it's no surprise to me that Misplaced Pages has a problem attracting and retaining editors, female or not.

I don't know if it's because I'm a girl, but I have been called "illiterate" (and ignorant, and more, hooray!) on Misplaced Pages. Although the fact that I could read and interpret that comment makes me wonder....

Biggest Misplaced Pages pet peeve: editors who say things like, "I have to WP:AGF, so I can't call you a liar/fraud/incompetent/ass-hat/hack," etc. Umm, message received. There's the letter of the law for you.

Also, proofreading is important.

Areas of interest

I like copy editing, anti-vandalism, trying to make use of my People and US Weekly reading habits by editing celebrity pages, and editing the pages of non-profit organizations and American journalists. Recently, I have become interested in finding and correcting typos. Don't ask me why, but for some reason I think it is fun to think up possible misspellings of words and search Misplaced Pages to see if any instances of the misspelling exist here. I have started a list to document common misspellings that I find: User:Safehaven86/Common Misspellings.

These are delicious and need a better article. I would attempt it myself, but it makes me too hungry.

Articles I have created

I've created over 50 articles, ranging from politics to pop culture. Articles that I've started include Leo Linbeck III, Christina Bianco, Spirit of '76 (sentiment), Domenica Ruta, Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, Government Accountability Institute, True & Co., Kenneth Vogel, and Melissa Hartwig. I get ideas about pages to start when I am reading a news article and there isn't a Misplaced Pages page for someone or something that seems notable. If you have any requests for page creation, please let me know, and I'd be happy to help.
