I am happy to avail myself for assistance in copy-editing entries, as well cite checks and discussions surrounding content.
I am also willing to assist with Ukrainian and Russian translations of articles into English (not vice versa). I think it prudent that I qualify why I have nominated to present myself as being a beginner in both those languages although I am far from being one. They were my first languages however, as I have not used them for many years, I no longer feel confident about writing in either. Nevertheless, I have no problems in reading and understanding them, and am proficient in the idiom, nuances and related aspects of these languages.
Skills
Professional background
Proof-reader (English language: British English and Australian English);
My aim is to assist in making Misplaced Pages a coherent and relevant resource.
Whilst I have, for professional reasons, cultivated an ability to remain as objective as is possible on any subject, it is inevitable that I will be predisposed towards allowing personal opinions to creep into any contributions I make. If you feel that I am allowing subjective preferences to override, please let me know.
It may appear that I'm highly verbose (erhem, read as self-evident!) but I am actually extremely skilled at being able to convey abstract concepts in lay (or 'concrete') terms... except on talk pages where I drone on and on and on. I'm committed to the idea of making the content as accessible as possible without sacrificing the comprehensive level of the subject matter.
Too much information
I'm a dried up old biddy with absolutely no sense of humour, irony or satire. I carry tissues in my bag for cleaning dirt off public transport seats while making much noise about, "What is the world coming to!" in order that everyone in the carriage cringes with embarrassment and is reminded of their mother.
Pssst, you... yes, you (if you're still reading)...
The Zaporozhian Cossack userbox isn't indicative of an imagined alliance or allegiance... I am genuinely descended from Zaporozhian cossacks who fled the razing of Sich and ended up settling in Poltava. After so many decades on this planet, it's probably the only fact I know to be a fact.
My ancestry does not determine my POV, nor does it define me in a more meaningful way than anything else that shapes any individual in our complex contemporary society. I have been called a Ukrainophile, a Ukrainophobe, a Russophile, an anti-Semite, a pro-Zionist, a pan-Slavic ideologue, a Kremlin stooge, the 'scourge of the earth' for deleting or reverting biased and pejorative 'contributions', ad nauseam. I choose to take it as a complement in that, if other users can't quite get a handle on me, it means that I'm seriously trying to follow the spirit of the Misplaced Pages project.
Your recent editing history at Human rights in Poland shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Please use the article's talk page per WP:BRD.Göndul (talk) 23:23, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
