Wikipedia newcomer

Hi to y'all, I'm a new Wikipedian. I have however made numerous edits to different pages and added to discussion pages, primarily at the moment being about video games. If any of you would like to talk to me about edits I made or points in a discussion that I made, feel free. Or if you just want to talk to me, then go for that too.

Just to let other people know, there are certain circumstances where there is encyclopedic knowledge that I find irrelevant to the topic at hand or I find a little bit offensive. I'm all for the input and seeking of knowledge including but not limited to encyclopedic searches, but there are times when I feel it crosses boundaries of decency and/or actually helpful knowledge. I feel that there are times that Wikipedia.org has junk info that just wastes page space.

I'm not going to be bossy of what others say and do. Me personally, I couldn't give a damn about being top dog. All I need is reassurance that I don't suck and I don't have a below-average level of intellegence so don't talk down to me, it only makes me both angry and doesn't make me feel too highly of myself. This applies in a number of different aspects, both in terms of emotional sensitivity and integrity and/or level of knowledge in a certain subject. In other words, I don't work over you, I don't work under you, I work with you. I'm not you're boss or your damn peon, I consider myself your Wikipedian co-worker so to speak.

But here's a few basic ground rules for you when you deal with me. For one, I won't get on your ass if you don't get on mine. For two, I believe that a change towards respect for another should be mutual felt and not forced. I shouldn't be forced to like or accept a person of a certain group, it should be upon compromise and understanding upon the pace which we consider to be useful. This is all of course within Wikipedian boundaries, because this is afterall, not our own site. I'll try my best in this area. Make room however for me to make mistakes as I'm still not too completely clear on all rules and how-to's of conduct and editing. I a Wikipedian n00b.

I brought all this up to help increasingly illustrate a larger point. I will try to work with admins and fellow editors to discuss the appropriateness and level of helpfulness of a certain tidbit of knowledge. I will try as hard as my mental/emotional tolerance can handle to avoid a needless arguement or in a worst case scenario a flame war and possible blocking of the use of my account and IP address as well as those of others. I am, however, open to debate over the appropriateness of a certain subject or POV of mine and will not make any kind of edits or moves of any kind without consulting other people over it first as to whether or not it would be the right move.

If anybody else feels that I am missing something or you're not quite clear as to how I feel over a certain subject or you want to inform me of something, please put it in my discussion section and I'll review whether or not it should be added, removed, or modified on my main page, my discussion page, or from the article or discussion section I contributed to. I'll try to put up a poll as soon as I can figure out how to do it and what to do it about. I start up a topic about what the poll should be about in my discussion page.
