One of the things to realize about having a collaborative team is that there are no mistakes that you can make that are critical. It's a shared space, and we all have opinions about what is 'right' and what is wrong, and there are less clear cut 'mistakes' than 'uninformed improvements' these days -- so you ought to never take being corrected as a personal slight on you. Doubly so if a writing/editing background is not part of your skillset - those of us who are trained in such things will be very quick to jump on any mistakes we catch. (My tech writing team has an informal competition when we do group lunches; the first person to catch a typo on the menu gets to pick one of the appetizers.)

For many of us, the motivation to make changes is to earn those badges and tier points; there's nothing wrong with trying to make a difference _and_ get badges at the same time, but it always runs the risk of getting corrected. I'm glad to have ya here, and I'm definitely glad to see you caring about your work, because those are the kinds of people that make this Wiki work.

(By the way, if you want comments on your blog posts directly, you'll need to allow comments.)  :)

Kind regards,
