Mintguy

I just don't think I can be bothered with Wikipedia anymore. It has stopped being fun. The lunatics are taking over the asylum. I think the spat with User:Netoholic was the last straw. At that time my wiki-stress was at boiling point and Netoholic's continued despicable behaviour made me incensed. His determination to have me de-sysoped (for blocking and reverting a known vandal) through the RFC and RFAr process just confirmed to me that this place has become too full of people who like the bureaucracy and red-tape that is now so much a part of editing here. His behaviour was all about him getting his own way and had nothing to do with what was right for Wikipedia. This was obvious to one and all, but due process had to proceed and I felt like I had been hung out to dry. By the end of that affair I felt drained and my editing has been reduced to a mere trickle. I said I wouldn't be forced out by trolls and vandals, but I guess I have been. So many good editors have stopped editing here recently and I go to join their legions. Farewell one and all. Mintguy (Wikipedia editor August 2002 - November 2004). Take a wikivacation and relax. The best way to deal with the bureaucracy is to ignore it - in the case of Wikimedia, it's fairly harmless.--User:EloquenceUser:Eloquence/CP == Article Licensing == Whenever I need a WikiVacation, sometimes I go back to working on articles that absolutely no one would think to write about so they leave me alone. Anyway if you ever come back and have a moment to consider this, I've "started" the User:rambot which aims to get users to release all of their contributions to the U.S. state, county, and city articles (if any) under the CC-by-sa 1.0 and 2.0 license (at minimum) or into the public domain if they prefer. A secondary, but equally important, goal is to get those users to release ALL of their edits for ALL articles. I've personally chosen to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all of the User:rambot and User:Ram-Man contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike Creative Commons License so that other projects, such as WikiTravel, can use our articles. I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all your contributions (or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles) so that we can keep most of the articles available under the multi-license. Many users use the template (or even for public domain) on their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I understand, but I thought I'd at least ask, just in case, since the number of your edits is in the top 100. If you do want to do it, simply just copy and paste one of the above two templates into your user page and it will allow us to track those users who have done it. For example: :Option 1 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below: : OR :Option 2 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below: : Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain (which many people do or don't like to do, see Wikipedia:Multi-licensing), you could replace with -- User:Ram-Man 00:10, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC) ==Argh== Sometimes I can't keep up with who's gone. Sorry not to have left a goodbye note sooner -- please don't take it as a sign that your contributions weren't valued. I'll miss seeing you around and hope you can return someday (and we'll see if I'm still around then!). Best wishes in all you do, and drop in on us now and then, if you will, as a favor to those of us who didn't push you over the edge. :-) User:Jwrosenzweig 09:22, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC) == Lord Denning == There is a move to rename the article on Lord Denning see:Talk:Alfred Denning, Baron Denning. User:Philip Baird Shearer 09:22, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC) ==:Image:Conrad Schumann.jpg== This image, uploaded by you, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images. User:Thuresson 18:38, 6 May 2005 (UTC) == Royal consorts and monarchs == hi there. i know it can be frustrating, but i�m trying to get a discussion going on how to change the rules on queen consorts, and monarchs, etc.. because it�s all a bit of a mess at the moment. feel free to look under. maybe you wanna join in and give your opinion? feel free [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_%28names_and_titles%29#Royal_consorts_and_monarchs] i can totally understand your frustrations, but don�t give up yet. cheers User:Antares911 23:32, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
