Revision as of 20:11, 12 October 2007
I'm slowly going to be winding down on the amount of drama and internal process I involve myself in. Veropedia is going to be taking up more and more of my time, and I would encourage others who care about Misplaced Pages's articles to join in with our efforts there and help out. The best of my work has already been saved there as a quality stable version, and for that reason I do not regret the time I have spent on Misplaced Pages since March 2006.
At this point, I do not believe the English Misplaced Pages is capable of digging itself out of the hole it has created for itself. The inmates really have taken control of the asylum. The sheer quantity of raving nationalists, quackery-pushing psuedoscientists, and fringe-adoring conspiracy theorists that dominate Misplaced Pages's articles just about everywhere makes genuine improvement nigh on impossible. Moreover, these types are frequently allowed to run around for months on end, causing immense harm, before something is done about stopping them. The ArbCom is overwhelmed by the case volume and the administrative corps is largely incompetent when it comes to coping with the problem. Misplaced Pages seems doomed forever to be regarded as a forever-dubious "first reference only", unfit for any serious scholarly research. Many of our contributors, and their articles, deserve better than this, and for this reason I would advise them to check Veropedia out.
I will still do everything important: contribute regularly to articles, put in the hours at the coalface at the Opera Project, write and discover quality content for Veropedia. I will also continue to try to deal with problems relating to "The Plague", and perhaps submit unfortunate trolls who cross my path to the arbitration process now and again.
If you have any questions regarding Veropedia, please feel free to ask on my talk page, send me an email, use the contact info at Vero, or visit #veropedia on IRC. If you would like an account, please ask and I will get back you as soon as I can.

Notes
- Overwhelmed they may be, but by and large I still think individual arbitrators do a good job. However, the Committee size is far too small, and cases that last over two months are more comedy shows than anything else.
- Yes, Armenians-Azeris, this means you.
- Any and all POV-pushers, watch your backs.
