User blog comment:Ensoka/I don't know why I'm still here/@comment-32500188-20150823200034

OK, so honestly there needs to be a discussion on how some folks need to handle legitimate editing mistakes from other users, because no one should be feeling like this after trying to help where needed. I'm so sorry that this has been a bad experience for you in the process of doing so, Ensoka. (As well as others who have been having editing issues as well.) It's disappointing that it's come to something like this, and I would hate to have someone who's trying their best feel like whatever they do is not worth anything, like you are.

We all have to start somewhere... most certainly when a vast majority of active users on the wiki first started here, we were making mistakes left and right on our first set of edits, but at the very least most folks were helpful in guiding new editors with questions and fixing those mistakes made. Not discouraging them from actually helping with keeping things up-to-date when it comes to new songs/producer info/albums/etc. It'd be a different story if we were all a panel of experts in languages and all, but it's clear not everyone is fortunate enough to have whatever education in one of our biggest languages here, nor do we have a vast amount of editors that are well versed in its grammar rules.

While I do whole-heartedly agree that it IS important to put forth an effort to have accurate information, it's just as important not to chase away what little help we have here just because they aren't exactly "doing it right." It's a learning process, and when you do have people willing to learn how to do something right, the least that could be done is to meet them halfway and show or suggest to them ways to overcome certain issues. We're all human beings behind the usernames, so that should definitely be kept in mind.

That's how I feel, and I honestly do NOT feel right about how things have been with recent instances of block threats over edits that were not even things that could be considered intentional vandalism. There's a better way to handle an issue, and it's not by crushing what drive they have to help, whether it's big or small.
