	:I'm inclined to say it's probably best to let this one go.

Latest revision as of 20:57, 6 December 2024

Retired This user is no longer active on Misplaced Pages.

It's hard to say goodbye to a community that I have been a part of for seven years. During my time as a contributor to Misplaced Pages, I have grown tremendously as a writer, and have added in many ways, large and small, to countless numbers of articles, and have participated in countless numbers of discussions. However, I have come to realize within the past year that I have reached both the limits of what I can accomplish within the Misplaced Pages community, and also the limits of my patience in interacting with other members of the Misplaced Pages community. Thus I feel that it is time for me to move on.

While I still believe in Misplaced Pages's mission to amass the sum of all human knowledge, I fear that the project may fail because the community will, over time, destroy itself due to what I perceive as constant infighting, the holding of long-term grudges by many users, and general rudeness and incivility on the part of many, which has an alienating effect on other users, both new and seasoned. As an administrator, I received more abuse than I would ever wish on anyone that is doing volunteer work, and this often extended beyond Misplaced Pages to my website, my Facebook, my Twitter, and my personal email, despite my best efforts to direct all Misplaced Pages-related inquiries back to Misplaced Pages. Because of this, I was never really able to escape from Misplaced Pages, even when using it for research, and it took a toll on me, turning what might otherwise have been an enjoyable activity into a chore, causing me to dread seeing the orange "You have new messages" bar come up, because it inevitably meant having to listen to more whining.

I soon found it increasingly difficult for me to justify to myself why I was still doing volunteer work for a project that I no longer found enjoyable. When I logged out of Misplaced Pages by choice and left it logged out, I soon came to realize that by not participating in Misplaced Pages, my stress levels went down, and I generally found myself to be much happier.

I believe that my best days are still ahead of me, but now it is time for me to forge my own path, endeavoring in new works and projects separate from those of the Misplaced Pages community. I wish all of you the best in your future endeavors, and perhaps our paths will cross again some day. SchuminWeb (Talk) 06:49, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Hate to see you go but I understand your frustration. Feel free to email or ping me if there is anything I can do. Whatever comes next, I hope you find joy in it. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 11:49, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Hopefully you feel better and good luck. If you ever do decide to return, hopefully you will realize that all the "problems" associated with the project are not entirely the fault of the project and that you do have some ownership of those problems. --Malerooster (talk) 16:21, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Best of luck in all that you do. Thank you for devoting so much of your spare time to this voluntary project, and I am only sorry that it took such a toll on you, as to push you away. Nothing in life is perfect, and this project is far from it, as you suggest, however I hope that you feel a sense of satisfaction that you helped bring us closer to that perfection we will always chaise.

Arbitration motion

Two motions have been proposed and are being voted on by the Arbitation Committee which affect you. Should you wish to comment, you may add a statement to the request for arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee --Alexandr Dmitri (talk) 14:15, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Arbitration motion regarding Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/SchuminWeb

Resolved by motion at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case that:

The accepted case is hereby suspended pending SchuminWeb's return to editing. SchuminWeb is instructed not to use his administrator tools in any way until the closure of the case; doing so will be grounds for removal of his administrator userrights. Should SchuminWeb decide to resign his administrative tools, the case will be closed and no further action taken. Should SchuminWeb not return to participate in the case within three months of this motion passing, this case will be closed, and the account will be desysopped. If the tools are resigned or removed in either of the circumstances described above, restoration of the tools to SchuminWeb will require a new request for adminship.

For the Arbitration Committee, Alexandr Dmitri (talk) 19:17, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:WikiProject Washington Metro

A tag has been placed on Template:WikiProject Washington Metro requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Replaceable non-free use File:MetroJet.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:MetroJet.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Misplaced Pages. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. House Blaster 20:55, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
