Now this user doesn't edit here anymore. See last edit.
This is what failure looks like
[edit]We wanted to grow our movement. We failed.
Wikiepdia peaked in active users in 2007. For seven years we have been hemorrhaging editors.
We strived be NOT a BUREAUCRACY. We failed..
We operate a crushing bureaucracy that deters newcomers who might increase participation in Wikipedia and broaden its coverage.
We strived be a place where anyone can edit. We failed.
Women are still less than 15 percent, driven away by "the argumentative and trollish atmosphere of Wikipedia".
I honestly think we have lost our way, I really do. I sometimes think we've become Nupedia and we need a new Wikipedia to feed into it. ... I think we've lost sight of what makes the project special, which is the idea that everybody DOES have something to contribute, it's not just a priesthood of a small number of people
Lastly, WP:CONSENSUS was a pillar of our project. The "last straw" was learning that the TFA coordinator believes, rightly, that he may overrule consensus. When WP:OWN and WP:CONSENSUS aren't being respected, I'm not being respected, and I can help Wikipedia no more.
My first article edit was on 4 January 2012.
Roughly 8,500 edits later, my last article edit was on 8 February 2014.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
