George Stepanek is a software developer and team leader at Unisys New Zealand. He has an Master's degree from the University of Cambridge, and has gained certification as an software architecture in both J2EE and Microsoft .NET. George is the author of ''Software Project Secrets: resolving the conflicts between software development and project management'' [forthcoming]. This is the first book to analyse and address the problems that project management's best practices cause in software development projects. It shows how to integrate agile software development with project management to resolve these problems. He lives in Oranga, a suburb of Auckland, with his cute but attention-seeking girlfriend, Erica, and his cute but attention-seeking Silver Abyssinian cat, Hermes. His interests include weight training, Go (board game), photography and travel. Noting the paucity of :Category:Weight training, he has rewritten the weight training article to Wikipedia:Featured_articles status, and contributed articles about Body for Life, dumbbells, barbells, the Smith machine, the cable machine, the leg press, the squat (exercise), the crunch (exercise) and overtraining (amongst others). He gently asks other editors to remember that Editing_policy#Perfection_not_required.2C_or_the_joy_of_editing. He displays his mild Wikipedia:inclusionism tendencies by occasionally attempting to salvage articles with potential from Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, e.g. Thursday October Christian, Delimited, Truelove Eyre and sugar addiction. However, he prefers not to enter such debates unless he can bring new ideas to the table. His 1000th contribution was on 5 March 2005.
I am taking an indefinite leave of absence from Wikipedia, so I will not be reading or responding to any comments left on this page. George, I just read your comments on the mailing list. I hope you'll reconsider. Chalk it up to experience and move on; we all have these disputes at one time or another. When I was learning to drive, my instructor told me no one could drive until they'd done 100,000 kms, and had at least one accident. It's the same sort of thing here. Now you've got your first big dispute behind you, you'll be on your way to being an even better editor. ;-) I hope you'll stay. User:SlimVirgin 19:53, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC) Same from me. I did the same sort of work you did on "Weight training" to get the "Christmas" article up to FA status. One of the co-editors wisely emailed me on 12/25 not to read the page for a few days, lest the barrage of edits spawned by the holiday arriving ruin my own Christmas. When I returned to the page the next week, it was no big deal to redo the junk that had appeared in the interim. You will indeed need more than a week, but c'mon back and don't let the turkeys get you down. User:Sfahey 23:25, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC) :George, it is good to see you haven't actually quit over this. I think I share your thin skin when it comes to stuff like this. Re the admins. "piling on" (Amer. football term which has come to mean jumping on someone when they're already down): the scope and pace of the edits was so furious that the late-comers could not possibly have had a grip on who did what when. i've found that a short break and new perspective works wonders when you come back ... you become more able to let things be when you can't change them. One reason I keep coming back to Wiki is that I learn and retain information much better through the (usually) fun exchanges of this unique medium. User:Sfahey 00:19, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC) ==Waking the Tiger== Hi George. I've done as you suggested to rename and tried to rewrite as best as I could. Now I'm asking for your help if you are interested. The VFD has transferred to Waking the Tiger.--User:Jondel 05:46, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
