I think it goes back to the fact that I have had so many vandalism attempts on this wiki. I started here 2 months ago with a fairly trusting nature and you can probably see now just how paranoid I am with regards to edits being made to my contributions without being aware of what is going on. I am not saying others can't edit my articles under any circumstances, I am just asking that people respect my feelings and communicate with me about what is going on. The thing that really set me off a couple days ago was not that a category was added to one of my pages. It was the fact that the edit was done by an anonymous user and no explanation was given. Nobody asked me or gave me any kind of heads up message that this was going to happen. It occurred during a time frame when I was driving home and eating dinner, so I was not even logged out for all that long, but nobody waited for me to return. When I discovered who made the edit, I confronted the person and my feelings and wishes were dismissed with a "sucks to be you" type of attitude.

I am asking for respect and communication. Things that are central to any community. I don't feel like i am asking for a lot. I am wondering why I am being requested to not ask for or expect these things.
