Comments from Dar-Ape (talk contribs):

Hi, Moe, and thanks for a good laugh. Well, where do I begin? 31,931 edits ago? The truth is that your body of work is so massive I can only hope to scratch the surface. So here are some things that I've noticed:
  • Please try to avoid abbreviations in your edit summaries (see link).
  • Thanks for creating the much more sightly {{Sprotected2}}.
  • I must say I'm impressed by User:Moe Epsilon/Criticism. Hopefully becoming more familiar with your faults (we're all human) will allow you to better deal with stressful situations that could potentially have to do with an error you might have made.
  • That being said, please continue to try to be polite. Here, it was clear The Hybrid was quite stressed out, and when someone makes a "big angry rant" like this, responding in kind will only escalate the situation. Please realize that as a BAR, this comment probably reflected more of The Hybrid's emotions than his true thoughts and intentions, which are the same as yours: to improve the article at hand. Perhaps I am starting to sound elementary, but it never hurts to remember that most all users (with a few exceptions) want the same thing you do: to build the best encyclopedia possible. This is best done through courteous and understanding collaboration. BARs will solve nothing, and may even drive editors from the project.
That's all I've got for now. Just remember, "Patience is a virtue..." Cheers, Dar-Ape 00:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    I created World Wrestling Entertainment roster which I am very pleased with because it is the 48th most viewed article on Wikipedia and is one of the most frequently updated WWE rosters on the Internet. Recently I also created Template:Sprotected2 as a alternate to the spotection tag. The Sprotected2 tag hit it off pretty well I should say ;)
  2. 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?
    Of course I have repeatedly been in conflicts over my time on Wikipedia and yes, users have caused me stress before. I used to get really upset, but I became much more mellow, I think, when dealing with people who are out to cause trouble. I've dealy with the users by reminding them of policy and trying to come to an understanding with them. The stress I feel on Wikipedia is displaced elsewhere so Wikipedia doesn't get the brunt of it anymore. I plan on taking the same actions with users in the future as well.
