Hi, Gazelle55 here – welcome to my user page.

General thoughts on Wikipedia editing

[edit]

I tend to support quality over quantity and believe Wikipedia's polices and guidelines should be firmly upheld to make sure we can provide readers with the best possible information. I also believe most editing disputes can be resolved by explaining oneself clearly and calmly and being willing to see one's mistakes. In the past I created quite a few articles, but now I generally prefer to work on improving the many existing articles needing work that cover important and interesting topics. I'm a big believer in helping new editors so if you're ever working on the same thing as me and want tips, feel free to ask. By the same token, if you have suggestions for me or disagree with my edits, I'm always happy to discuss. :-)

Note: I used to edit Wikipedia as ThomasEdistar. I switched to this account several years ago and I no longer monitor the old one, but I've included barnstars from both accounts. I also counted edits from both accounts when selecting my Veteran Editor userbox above.

Just a note of thanks for your efforts to overcome differences and to seek and build consensus with other editors on articles related to the Bahá'í Faith. It's quite refreshing to see and it's clearly resulting in a lot of good work being done! dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 05:05, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
