From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am currently: Never coming back

I have decided to leave Wikipedia, as this place has lost all its charm and meaning for me as an editor. I am done fighting a losing battle against power hungry administrators, idiots with no knowledge of the subject matter they want removed, and morons who work against the very ideal of the Project based on personal "preference". Good bye Wikipedia.

External links are bad

You might be annoyed that I have removed an "External link" from an article, if that is the case I would like to point out something before you go writing your comment. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a link repository, and as such links should be of up most importance.

If the link has the same information as a link already there it should not be added.
If the link adds nothing to the article as a whole (meaning, there is nothing substantial or unique about it) it should not be added.
If the link is not to an English site, it should not be added, try and find an alternative.
If you own the site.
The site is commercial, trying to sell something or is in other ways considered an ad.

If none of these "points" where broken with the link I removed. Please feel free to correct me if you feel I removed something that should not have been and inform me on my talk page of my mistake. Thank you.

Crystal ball and news site syndrom

Crystal ball

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. What does this mean? Well, in short, it's when you add something to Wikipedia that is considered pure speculation. It might be a supposed release date for a game, the official title for a movie which is currently in production or just something which "everyone says on the net". It's important that Wikipedia strive for facts, and if there are no facts or verifiable source for any information, then it should not be added to the article. Some might find this strange, because who decides what is fact and what is speculation? That would be the owner/creator/official source etc. Only they can give official word on something, everything else is pure speculation, and not fact.

News site

Wikipedia is not a news site. The simple fact is that we are an encyclopedia, not a news site. Hence, we don't work with rumors, speculation or original research, we just don't.

Please keep this in mind when you edit on Wikipedia.

Liars and the decline of Wikipedia

Flaws in Wikipedia? Let's talk about flaws; One person appoints something for deletion, and it is kept. The next time the result is no consensus, and the last and third time it's deleted. I would think that an article would be kept seeing as the first vote was keep, but no. In Wikipedias infinite wisdom, this is not the case. Because Wikipedia is a retarded and flawed. I have come to realize that all my edits have not been done to help people understand something, or enlighten them. It's been a stupid game where nobody wins all along.

If you want something gone from Wikipedia, you could just as well AfD it and continue to do so, regardless of how many time something is kept (well, we do have rules against how many times something can be AfDed). But the point stands, if the article is about something that is verifiable, but not that many people edit on it, it will be deleted. So there is actually a system that works contradictory to what the essence of this supposed encyclopedia is.

So yeah, a game, a stupid game where no rewards are given, where people argue and argue until someone gets their will. Nobody cares about being "told" about something or to learn from it, because they wouldn't be editing X article if they didn't think themselves that what they wrote is the absolute truth of the matter.

So, in my years on Wikipedia, what have I learned? That people are stupid, inconsiderate, idiots who are the same exact people that I would avoid like the plague in real life. The best thing that could happen at this point is the removal of Wikipedia. Close it down Jimbo, just put this experiment on human behavior down. Don't you know people are total ass hats on the internet?

Anyway, this is my last edit, I'm done with Wikipedia. It was a valid try, and I've had some fun times. But I could get just as much from reading a book, or playing a game as I do from this hell hole of a bugged game, I mean encyclopedia.

Good luck people.

Currently working on

Currently I am doing the following on Wikipedia:

Working on getting rules of what constitutes a game guide and not when it comes to games. You can read the proposed guideline/policy at Wikipedia:Game guide.
Trying to come to a consensus with the external links section at vBulletin.
Watching over which game related articles that are up for deletion.
Cleaning up spam, and huge external links sections that I come over everywhere on Wikipedia.
