WikiProject Fisheries and Fishing
Hi Jerm. On 25 October 2020, you closed down WikiProject Fisheries and Fishing with this edit by marking it as "inactive". You did not provide wider notification you were contemplating this draconic move. While the project was quiet at the time it most certainly should not have been closed down. There are over 2000 articles in the project, all identified and assessed. Maybe the project was quite at the time. That is not a reason to throw away all the assessment and categorising work. As it happens, I am the main contributor to over 100 articles belonging to this project. I have these articles listed on a page where I patrol them for activity and vandalism. I was certainly not at any point "inactive". Nor were other members "inactive", while new members have turned up, one of them querying whether they can restart the project under another name to fill the vacuum.
Still, this would all be sort of okay if your action was simple to undo. I have undone your edit, but the project remains dead. Every article in the project still continues to display a message on its talk page announcing the project is inactive (whether that has resulted in users removing assessments is going to take hours of work to determine). The table of assessment statistics has disappeared, and shows no signs of resurrecting. It is as though all that assessment work never happened. The project is now in shambles. Please undo the damage, and restore this project back to life. — Epipelagic (talk) 21:04, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

- Try and take some responsibility for what you have done. That's what people do when they grow up. It happens I didn't notice your edit. That project page is not on my list – and it would never have occurred to me that an established editor would be so destructive. Even if I had noticed your edit I would have assumed it was basically benign and didn't need urgent addressing. I undid your edit nine days ago, but there has been no sign of a bot attempting to fix the mess. You have damaged a whole project. Now are you going to try and help the rest of us recover from the mess you have made, or are you going to continue behaving as though you are a prize jerk. If the latter, then it is time you left Misplaced Pages and found another place to do what you do. — Epipelagic (talk) 22:48, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
