This is a thread that I decided to make because it seems too hard to find Data editors. Hopefully, people will see this and post themselves up.
If you are posting here, a requirement is that you are either a data editor or someone who just wants to comment about something. This means no requests. If you are a data editor, post your skill level (gauge is below) and if you have skype or some other chat thing like vent or AOL messaging. I will put your name in the thingy under this.
Gauge: I tried to make this as flow-y as possible so that you would only have to say one number, but if there is a section you cannot do, just say something like 'up to x excluding y' or tell me that most people can do 'x' before they can do 'y')
1- I can change the stats of a unit!
2- I've made an absurdly OP unit (and I know how to make my own units)!
3- I've made a cool looking absurdly OP unit!
4- I can make my own ability!
5- My ability is levelable (with increasing damage)!
6- I understand actors and animations to the point that I can change animations!
7- I can attach actors!
8- I can do all of the Weekly Data Exercises!
9- I can make a Starfall ability!
10- I can retexture through the data editor (I can't do this correctly, so I stuck it up here)
11- I can make Heroes that jump and charge and spin and do all this crazy stuff!
12- I'm off the charts! (Tell me something I can put here)
-.-'-I'm modest!
Been tinkering with the Data Editor on and off for just under a year, and at this point I'd rank myself at about 7 (excluding 5; haven't tried that yet).
I rank myself at a beastly .9 :D i still cant find that damage LOL.
i only started messing with the editor a few days ago so give me time ill be a 12(can add custom models, actors, animations, and can build a Tower defense out of just the data editor)
I know the data editor pretty much in and out (tactical AI, custom fire damage attachments, custom construction sequences, whatever ). I'm not too sure how to rank myself in there, 11?
What would the contact information be used for? I would be glad to help about the though questions but I certainly don't feel like holding the hand of beginners... Besides, it may be better to keep things in the forums for the answers to be available to others.
I'd be 1, though I can also retexture stuff, which is 10. The latter's semi-important for terraining :D
Edit: On second though, I guess I'm about 1.5; I couldn't off the bat create my own unit if you forced me to open the data editor right now, but I've got a pretty good idea about how it works, and I have created my own doodads.
I haven't actually done 11 (Ok, I did make Maiev spin), but if I have, it probably won't take me over an hour to figure it out. Same goes for parts of a lot of other entries (I havent made an airstrike and don't know how to yet, but if I try I will get it done.), but I'm pretty sure this rating is about what you can do, and not what you have done. I highly doubt that there's something I couldn't do in the data editor if I put my mind to it (Well, excluding things that are just impossible to begin with, or shouldn't be done with data in the first place. I won't make you a spell dependent on multiple variables, that's something a lot easier to do in triggers) - Experience taught me that I'm very good at anything logical, like math, physics and the data editor. (Although actors do tend to be illogical. I still don't understand why the HT won't accept a modelswap message for the dark HT model, but all other models work.)
EDIT: Btw, the title of the thread reminded me of a funny picture I saw somewhere once:
"Dyslexics of the world - Untie!" (I think it was dyslexics. Might've been something else)
While I can't say about 8 and 9, because I dont follow the weekly exercises and I don't know what a Starfall ability is, I can do both 7 and 10, as well as some things listed for 11. So I'd say I'm a 8.79 :-)
1- I can change the stats of a unit! - Yes
2- I've made an absurdly OP unit (and I know how to make my own units)! - Yes
3- I've made a cool looking absurdly OP unit! - Yes
4- I can make my own ability! - Yes
5- My ability is levelable (with increasing damage)! - Yes
6- I understand actors and animations to the point that I can change animations! - Yes
7- I can attach actors! - Yes
8- I can do all of the Weekly Data Exercises! - Haven't bothered to try, been too busy with my own stuff.
9- I can make a Starfall ability! - If I set my mind to it then yes I could.
10- I can retexture through the data editor (I can't do this correctly, so I stuck it up here) - Haven't bothered to look into it. Been making my own models.
11- I can make Heroes that jump and charge and spin and do all this crazy stuff! - I made a jetpack marine.
12- I'm off the charts! (Tell me something I can put here) - I made the only working Amphibous system and naval warships.
I have exploited conversation states for static data tables, I know how to add customized conditions on conversations, I have a good graps with lighting, i know how to create a levelable hero (i even started a tutoria on it and did one demo back in the beta days pre editor), I have bused upgrades for pseudo dynamic stuff to add to units, etc.

I rank my self at 10-11. My best field is actor/visual effects and effects.
Been tinkering with the Data Editor on and off for just under a year, and at this point I'd rank myself at about 7 (excluding 5; haven't tried that yet).
I don't like to rate myself, since there is probably so much stuff, which isn't even discovered. Lets say, I know my way around in data ;)
I put myself at 5
I vote kueken gets 11
...he's fantastic...
I'm around 10 although most of the stuff is things I would have to tinker around with before I can get them to work.
I rank myself at a beastly .9 :D i still cant find that damage LOL.
i only started messing with the editor a few days ago so give me time ill be a 12(can add custom models, actors, animations, and can build a Tower defense out of just the data editor)
I'm a 3. My Uberlisk is absurdly OP and schnazzy >:D
On a more serious note, the scale is kinda shallow. The majority of things you can do in the Data Editor aren't listed :S
I know the data editor pretty much in and out (tactical AI, custom fire damage attachments, custom construction sequences, whatever ). I'm not too sure how to rank myself in there, 11?
What would the contact information be used for? I would be glad to help about the though questions but I certainly don't feel like holding the hand of beginners... Besides, it may be better to keep things in the forums for the answers to be available to others.

I would probably put myself at a 9. Skipping 10, I could probably do 11 if I worked on it for a while.
I can do 1-11, but that doesnt show how good I am with the editor.
Now I couldnt do any of them , besides maybe 1 without getting help.
11 is very easy. Just make Zeratul play his spell ability :P
On a serious note, I'm about 10.
I have exploited conversation states for static data tables, I know how to add customized conditions on conversations, I have a good graps with lighting, i know how to create a levelable hero (i even started a tutoria on it and did one demo back in the beta days pre editor), I have bused upgrades for pseudo dynamic stuff to add to units, etc.
