Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

Hi, I'm Angelikfire (talk) and I am one of those the average Wikipedian would call newbies. That's the reason why I still feel rather uncomfortable making big changes. As of now I mostly look for punctuation and spelling errors, other than add those pieces of information and missing sources I feel ok adding.
I consider myself a splitter. I strongly support Trivia sections.
I highly despise edit wars: can't reach a consensus? No need to engulf yourself in a bloody fight and start calling people names; just chill out and try to solve things with a vote. The same goes for trolling, vandalization and - worse of all - jerks: okay, an IP did a not-so-good edit and you had to revert it. So what? Do you really have to be so unpleasant about it? It's not like you have to write everything all over again. Plus, they probably edited in good faith anyway. Being nice pays back.
Unfortunately (or maybe not), I happen to be in the minority as far as Wikipedians go, being female and coming from a non English-speaking country. Not that I let this bother me: I'm willing to stand for my position, regardless of what others might think. Deal with it.
