Ping me for work reviewing in the following A-class, high order peer review, FAC/FARC topics

military history of ONLY the following topics:

If your article at review isn't in this list I may get to it by myself. But I appreciate being pinged for only these issues in order to counter systemic bias. This is to spend my time preferentially engaging with editors working in under worked areas. Fifelfoo (talk) 08:59, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Fifelfoo's handy principles for Wikipedia editing

Don't shit in the well

While you may want to be bold if you've got a political ideal, you'll probably be too bold about it, so don't shit in the community's well.

Beers

Libertarianism related citation and sourcing work with many many other editors. Srich32977 02:02, 22 November 2011 (via user page, rather than talk)

For defending users of en_GB, en_AU, en_NZ and other bastards, and I'm quoting in full: "For "Bloody Strong oppose this will shit up the encyclopaedic process due to the imposition of fucking stupid cultural norms derived from versions English produced by puritan wankers onto users of other version of English that, for example, regularly use cunt as the generic noun." Brilliant, laughed out loud and fell off the fraking chair. I think it's the juxtaposition of encyclopaedic and puritan wankers." Nuujinn 01:45, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

I did bad; but, got better

Hungary 1956 FAR/C: it didn't solve the article problems, I brought the drama llama to town; learnt from my mistakes. November 2009.

Nitpicking citations in shorthand jargon at FAC; trained out of the behaviour. November 2009.

I did stupid; but, got better

Being involved in editing:

Anarchism: Too anarchic (but the article got better while I was on break)
Libertarianism: An emotional drain of taxonomic differences that are irreconcilable based on SOAPBOXing and IDHT (the editorial environment has improved through everyone using much better sourcing policy as the basis for weight lead article changes)
Mass killings under Communist regimes: Largely SYNTH and COATRACK, there is a core article about a social sciences hypothesis which is clouded over by SOAPBOXed COATRACK (shows signs of improvement)
Holodomor: Fun and games in taxonomy to do with Ukraine exceptionalism, an unwillingness to separate historiographical narratives and historical events, and a debate over 80 years of English useage versus 20 years of Ukraine usage.
