I know the feeling. Writing for the Wiki for me includes a terrified fear of someone else seeing that there's something new up and putting in the edits simultaneously, and then there's an ugly task of unraveling who puts in what. (I had this happen to me early on, where someone started editing a page while I was still working on it, and I lost around half an hour worth of changes because they saved on top of my work and it wouldn't let me save -- and I clicked the "Discard changes" button on my copy by accident.

We're also in the mode of trying to find something to edit and write every single day, and unlike the early days where stuff could be found to fix, our small army of dedicated editors have cleaned out a large portion of the bugs, so new features is where our biggest source of new things to say/do comes from, which leads to 'omg must get to it before someone else does' syndrome.

Here's a different way of seeing it; I rely on you and other people to catch me if I goof up, because I'd rather have someone catch it quickly than have it sitting there for awhile (...he says, having found typos in documentation that has been in customer's hands for months)

And really, most of the time your stuff is as clean as mine is -- take it as the compliment that it is. :)
