* Created the "cross-platform dialogue" page, and relayed messages back and forth between Facebook people and Discord people, and conducted the "Xenharmonic Wiki:Referendum" (good because it led to Flora being promoted to top level admin and multiple new admin being promoted, and because mist people on all sides considered it a fair process; bad because Mike quit the wiki and many Facebook people still feel resentful to this day - I had wanted to bring the FB and Discord communities together and help them feel like they're all in this together and like they're friends, and I failed to do that) | * Created the "cross-platform dialogue" page, and relayed messages back and forth between Facebook people and Discord people, and conducted the "Xenharmonic Wiki:Referendum" (good because it led to Flora being promoted to top level admin and multiple new admin being promoted, and because mist people on all sides considered it a fair process; bad because Mike quit the wiki and many Facebook people still feel resentful to this day - I had wanted to bring the FB and Discord communities together and help them feel like they're all in this together and like they're friends, and I failed to do that) | ||

* Went through all the 1000s of edonoi pages, marked all the stubs as stubs, and added ED intros, harmonic tables and interval tables (good, except that I put the stub templates at the top of the pages, so at some point I need to move them all to the bottom) | |||

* Added the idea of "nascji" as a little subheading on the "neji" page (this was bad because it led to someone else renaming the "neji" page to "nemi", which then blew over into a big argument between various people on the wiki and led to Zhea Erose quitting the wiki - I didn't intend any of that but my edit still started that chain reaction) '''(counts as 10 bad things because this was really bad)''' | * Added the idea of "nascji" as a little subheading on the "neji" page (this was bad because it led to someone else renaming the "neji" page to "nemi", which then blew over into a big argument between various people on the wiki and led to Zhea Erose quitting the wiki - I didn't intend any of that but my edit still started that chain reaction) '''(counts as 10 bad things because this was really bad)''' | ||
