Mistakes and reflections

This page is inspired by User:CollectiveSolidarity/Mistakes, after a number of my poor judgments were discussed in my RfA: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Shushugah.

While a Wikipedia:Wikibreak is normal/even healthy, I should have taken more care to alert others about my dormant period, specifically abandoning for GAN reviews and afterwards ensured any cleanup was done, for example correcting the credit for the completed GAN reviews, most egregiously Talk:Devil in Christianity/GA1.

I should have disclosed that I met Brendan Hunt in 2011 during Occupy Wall Street when I raised this AfD in 2018: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brendan Hunt (activist). I believe my reasoning still stands and a voluntary COI is optional in this case, but it reflects the kind of judgment that I do not wish to be, as an editor today and certainly not as an admin. I've made similar 3 edits on Molly Crabapple also in 2018 noting her recent published book, despite having a friendly relation. In more recent times I've strictly adhered to COI acknowledgement even where not required by policy, for example at Talk:2021 Gorillas strikes, Talk:European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, Talk:Tech Workers Coalition.
