User blog:Daringheart/A celebration of collaboration

I know, the nature of a wiki is a collaborative effort. But I feel it that is necessary to express my appreciation to certain individuals that have either taught me how or worked closely with me. These have been valuable lessons because:

When I started, one of my greatest concerns was claiming or invading territory and I hope that this and at some time reaches a new editor and serves a useful purpose

During my initial trepidation, I must thank the admins for their careful patience in answering questions and correcting errors with tempered responses.

Early on, I was a little squeamish about bother admin for every small question and asked a single individual editor to serve as an unofficial mentor or contact as the need arises. Fortunately, these services were not required often, but it was reassuring to know I had near-peer mentor.

I naturally grew in confidence and proficiency with the tools. For those of you that are still learning, make checking the page history a habit. You can scream from the mountaintops (in guild chat) that a page is yours, but you don't know what other people don't know. Communicate with other editors clearly and with happy attitude - it is very hard to make a mistake you can't roll back.

But what I really wanted to write this post about is my appreciation to a couple of editors that have been a pleasure to work with. JosephK always seems to be able to capture the perfect image that I can't, almost as soon as I need it. Even really weird, novel things when we've had to update pages. And Kent2t and I worked through Notifications (not a tiny page) rabidly with barely crossing the streams because of pretty clear communication

So, as we approach a weekend and - frankly, very few large projects left until we're given some more - a toast to the teamwork, which includes all you.
