Dennis, there is a massive cultural issue and the offended/civility-pushing Yanks seem to outnumber the offended/civility-pushing Brits where identities are known, although I accept that there are some Brits who are offended and there are some Yanks who are not. The entire policy is a pile of crap and should be jettisoned: you cannot consistently enforce moral standards across cultural divides. Still, I'm not going to be around as much for a while, so unless my meds send me even more weird it is unlikely to affect me greatly. But, both of you, feel free to block me next time I get frustrated and call a spade a spade. I wouldn't appeal because this place is clearly intended for human interaction idealists, not realists. - Sitush ( talk) 20:53, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

There there, sit down, relax, enjoy a nice cup of tea. I hope you come back refreshed. Take your time, Wikipedia will still be here in a year. We can deal with not having you for a while. It's just that we'd rather not. Martijn Hoekstra ( talk) 17:47, 5 July 2013 (UTC) |

After having had a few weeks to think about it, I've decided to retire from this account. It's possible that I may return to editing sometime in the future, but if I do it will be with a clean start account (one that doesn't have 250 talk page watchers, for one thing ;-) and I'll just go back to my old ways of low-profile gnome work. My time as an admin was fun and I don't regret it, but that is definitely in the past now. -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 22:01, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
I'm not having a bit of it!!!! Now you listen here! You've been a huge influence on me. I don't like this whole retirement idea at all! There's no need for de-adminnig or retiring. That's rubbish. Just stay out of areas that've put you off. You can simply use the tools while editing quietly and usefully. Just step into the shadows (where I love to dwell.) Do what is just so nice: make species articles and quietly mop up here and there. Being an administrator doesn't mean being a governor. You can just walk from all of those areas. Okay???? Don't make me have to come over there! Your friend, Anna.

Well, folks, I wasn't expecting quite the strength of feeling I've seen since my decision to retire this account (I've had some nice off-wiki messages too). I really would like a complete fresh start in a few months time and I can be pretty stubborn when I've made up my mind - but I do also like to listen to people. So I'll put the decision on hold for a while and will go back to Wikibreak status for now. Maybe when I'm ready I will move to a new account but I'll link them so people know who I am. Or maybe I'll keep this one after all. I really don't know right now. (But I'm definitely not going to ask for my admin bit back). -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 09:59, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Just letting you know I'm attempting to actually make a legit article for Blue Waffle. I know it's a meme/ hoax, but I think an article pointing that out, with references, would be a great help to the world. I saw you have once marked Blue waffles disease article written by someone else as G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement. I'm just letting you know, I took a serious approach to it, describing that it is a HOAX, and not a real disease, I also include multiple about templates to ensure that if someone was duped, they would have access to legitimate STD's, Internet hoax's, and false information. I have ref's and found multimedia and quotes. I'm ducking...I feel like I'm gonna have something thrown at me.... :) GlenberryPlace ( talk) 18:55, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi Boing, My name is Sunil and you helped me out a few months back regarding a block situation I had. And we spoke at that time about GREENCulture and that being removed as well as my name Sunil Wagle being removed from wikipedia. I contacted the person named Mark Arsten who I think was the person who removed my name...I believe he is an Administrator but he said he does not recall deleting me but when I looked at the history I felt that by looking at the history, he was the one who did it. Can you please help me with this and let me know what I should do. Here is the message I sent to Mark Arsten: I see that you deleted my name as a famous Wagle. I would like to ask you why did that. My company Greenculture was the first green e-commerce retailer. We were regularly featured in magazines, and newspapers and did lots of business in the United States and overseas. Here are some online stories of me and the company: http://www.internetretailer.com/mobile/2007/04/19/riverwired-com-launches-as-green-web-portal-for-the-eco-co. Also, see here: http://legacy.utsandiego.com/news/uniontrib/mon/business/news_lz1b1ads.html. Also, see here: http://www.sanantonio.gov/clerk/ethics/HB914CIS/200809/SunilWagleGreenCulture.pdf. Also, see here: http://voices.yahoo.com/top-five-eco-friendly-online-furniture-retailers-839073.html?cat=30. Also, see here: http://www.gaithersburgmd.gov/Documents/environment/rainbarrel_handouts.pdf. If you look here we are listed here: http://www.co.ocean.nj.us/solidwaste/.%5C%5CPDFs%5CBackyardCompostingDemoSite.pdf. Anyway, I feel there is a legitimate reason for me to be listed here and ask that you reinclude my name in the list of wagles. As you can see above, we were in the Internet Retailer top 500 for many years. This company did over $50 million in revenue which seems notable. I think I may not be posting this in the correct area so I apologize in advance if I am posting this in the wrong location.

Dennis, there is a massive cultural issue and the offended/civility-pushing Yanks seem to outnumber the offended/civility-pushing Brits where identities are known, although I accept that there are some Brits who are offended and there are some Yanks who are not. The entire policy is a pile of crap and should be jettisoned: you cannot consistently enforce moral standards across cultural divides.
