Anthere a ecrit:
To me, it looks like we always forget to thank those who did good things, but very well remember to spank the ones who appeared to have failed, while they tried to make a point.
And what do we do now ?
Yes, I had good holidays :-)
I'm glad you had a good holiday. I watched "Anger Management" /twice/ and read a book on conflict resolution.
The leader of my church, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, says that if we see that someone has made a mistake we should take responsibility for it ourself and fix it SEVEN TIMES, before saying anything to them about it.
I have tried to apply this rule at Wikipedia. For example, if someone deletes a new page which contains only graffiti or a "What's this" question, I take 5 or 10 minutes with Google to research the deleted topic, undelete it, and put a nice stub in its place. I try to keep count, but it's easy to lose track. So I might do this more than 7 times quietly. After the count of seven, I often suggest to another sysop that they make a stub instead of just deleting the page.
