I made some stupid and egregious mistakes in the past that I feel should be out in the open.

My first account was created five and a half years ago. I made some fairly minor edits like creating redirects and disambiguation pages before deciding to edit the page of a relative's place of work as a favour. Unsurprisingly, that got me blocked. The blocking admin said I could create a new account, so I did.

My second: treatment of 85.131.127.116

edit

My first and last edit war. This one got ridiculously heated for (with hindsight) practically no reason. Neither of us were civil but I really should've known better. I came to my senses and apologised at the time, which is something. Me and the IP editor were both rightfully reported to 3RR over the incident. I wince at those words when I read them today -- they're not at all reflective of who I am.
