From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At this point—December 2017, multiple years into my Wikipedia editing experience—I've found editors to have widely varying sensibilities and community socio-political status (and, sadly, those don't always align as one might hope/expect) ... I now most always check a user's "View user groups" and "Logs">"Block logs" info links (offered in sidebar when viewing userpages in the desktop browser interface; check relevance of default " Performer:" and "Target:" settings in the log interface) before interacting with them. A sort of assume good faith while also pragmatically checking for supporting data approach.
If one feels an incentive to be more thorough, a glance at an editor's userpage and their user talkpage – and talkpage history (especially if their are indications of frequent archiving/deletion) – can help get a sense of what one's 'getting into' and a quick random skim through "User contributions" may offer insight as well (even if just to get a sense of their communication style in edit summaries). ––A Fellow Editor–
