This is an observation I once made about the probability of an edit being reverted, later codified into a brief essay by a couple of interested editors:
WP:MONROE.
Me
Hi. I'm an average (few edits per week) Wikipedian.
I'm not thin-skinned, and openly accept criticism. I avoid criticizing other editors, except as an unavoidable side-effect of asking an administrator if something should be done about an editor's repeated problematic habits.
In discussions about article contents, I much prefer to discuss edits without mentioning the editors. I see this as basic to
WP:AGF.
Did you know...
...that
materiel (ending "el") means military supply and equipment, which is different from
material (ending "al"), meaning stuff to make things?
...that
ordnance (two syllables) means military munitions, which is different from
ordinance (three syllables), meaning a law or the like?
I wish editors would stop messing these up; it makes WP look foolish.
