User:Princess Tiswas/PT:TEACUP

Editors, particularly owners of articles, often display chest-beating, lamp post-urinating characteristics when it comes to even the tiniest of changes to their work. Edit wars, disputes, personal attacks, notices and intervention, the issue escalates beyond proportion. The storm in a teacup has begun. Everyone is so concerned with being right that the actual topic is all but forgotten.

Have a little perspective once in a while. Because another editor disagrees with your view, or has different interpretations of policies and guidelines, or is just being a dick, take a step back, and remember that it's just an encyclopedia. An online one at that. That anyone can edit.

If you find your pulse racing, your blood pressure rising, and the corner of your eye twitching, then ask yourself, what is there to get so riled up about? Who, when the dust settles, really cares that much?
