[edit] Goodbye message

I've decided to leave wikipeadia for good. I have come to realise that Wikipedia simply does not work.

  • WP:V and WP:RS were meant to stop people adding stupid comments, and not to tag pages on actors or get rid of episodic articles
  • Some people are interpreting WP:RS to tag entirely obvious statements - which was not the intention
  • WP:TRIVIA was meant to stop wikipedia becoming a fan site, not to stop important information being tagged just because it is trivial
  • WP:NOR is not meant to stop people adding things which are obvious by the "1+1 =2" method
  • My conclusion is that wikpedia will eventually be broght down (and in fact IS being brought down) - not by IP's but by ordinary wikipedians, some of whom are acting for the good of the project
  • So basically, wikipedia does not work, and there is nothing you can do to make it work. Goodbye and good luck
It's always sad to see a good contributor leave, especially with these observations. You are right - this happens far too often - and the only thing I can say is that people like you are the kind we need to help fix the problems. That said, I wish you well. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 10:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Hopefully, you'll return... you've been a great editor, and it is too bad it has come to this. Best of luck. --Ckatzchatspy 17:50, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
You've done so much good, for that well done, since the day I started editing I have always seen your name pop up, always adding things and making wikipedia a better place, it has its faults and I hope you come back, but if you dont, well done and thanks, its sad to see such a good wikipedian go, goodbye.--Wiggs (talk) 23:35, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

You are absolutely bang on. No deals with you but I found this via the Doctor Who project and congratulations on saying things that others either do not agree or have the guts to say. Porterjoh (talk) 14:44, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I slightly sympathise. —TreasuryTag—t—c 10:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shucks...

Hope you come back one day... once we get rid of all the fundamentalist deletionists. Wikipedia used to be th eplace where all human knowledge used to live. — Edokter • Talk • 11:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Totally agreed - I've only just discovered you'd gone, sorry to hear it Stephenb (Talk) 18:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ditto

Yes, sorry to see you go. You were the first person (and only, to date) that left me a nice little message on my talk page. Well, I guess in a way, I've picked up the torch from you. I hope to do you proud should you ever lurk on back. Homoaffectional (talk) 01:55, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Astrid Peth

I have nominated Astrid Peth, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Astrid Peth. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. —TreasuryTag—t—c 16:53, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
