I am an ex-Wikipedian. My primary interest whilst I was on Wikipedia was the development of cricket-related articles (as can be seen from my contributions), although I also liked to dabble elsewhere. I left Wikipedia on 11 June 2005. I was involved in a dispute after one user made a policy proposal that was rejected. For a policy proposal to pass on Wikipedia it needs to gain a consensus (typically 80%+ in votes) and his proposal failed even to get a majority, so there was no question that it failed. Some users chose to implement that proposal on some pages, despite it clearly failing. I, along with some others, reverted them. They reverted back, and so on and so forth. ArbCom got involved, and it was clear that, although ArbCom is meant to discuss behaviour, instead the discussion was about content. Some members on ArbCom felt the policy proposal should have passed, and therefore decided that the users implementing it were in the right, and those enforcing the community decision were in the wrong - and as I was the main editor enforcing that decision, I was to blame for the whole affair. Well, you can decide whether it's fair or not - but I choose to spend my spare time doing things I enjoy, not things I don't enjoy. When it is clear that despite creating many good articles (the list below is far from complete), initiating the Portal:Cricket and creating five featured articles is not appreciated, but instead you get persecuted because you stand up to editors that choose to make edits that they know will be resisted because the community has just defeated there proposal.....well, it's not worth the hassle, is it? To those who I have worked with constructively, including all those on Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket, I wish you all the best and hope your bits of Wikipedia continue to improve. It's a fantastic project and a fantastic resource. I got many things done by being bold and imaginative, I encourage you to do the same. To the others, you will continue to have your bits of Wikipedia - but like everything, if you fail to listen to the majority, those collaborating with you, and more importantly, your readers will go elsewhere. There are many alternatives to Wikipedia about - Wikipedia works when we listen to our readers and we work with community consensus.
