]<center>I am outraged that the ] initiative to level the playing field between the standards of behaviour expected of administrators and non-administrators was taken to ]. It may work, it may not, but the defensive attitudes displayed by some administrators left a bad taste in the mouth. No wonder that so many editors simply walk away from the project in the face of unchecked administrator abuse.<br /><br />The chaotic, inconsistent, abusive, and arbitrary way this project is being policed and run has become unacceptable to me. IP editors are allowed to run amok, yet long-standing contributors are held to standards of behaviour met by very few administrators. If there are ever processes put in place to deal with the children who have taken over the project, then I may consider returning one day. Until then, ''adieu''.</center> |

There are some other Manchester things that need to be discussed. I will be working on this more during this week. But yeah. ] (]) 22:03, 9 March 2009 (UTC) |

::In the "Pass" section of ] it says "Also, update the class parameters to "GA" for project templates on the talk page." So the way a Wikiproject tag gets a GA rating is exactly with the GA review process, therefore it makes sense to change the rating with delisting. It would be a lot unnecessary work to go through all of your delistings, as you contribute quite a few and they are reasonable, and this is why I suggested changing the ratings along with the article history. Please reconsider, thank you. ] (]) 22:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC) |

Would you mind if I moved you to the list of GM inactive participants? The way I see it, it's not just a list of members who haven't edited for a while, but a roll call of the people who've been a part of the project. While I understand you want to sever your ties with wikipedia, I think it would be right for WP:GM to remember those who've help make it the one of the leading UK projects.

Hi Malleus, an editor has nominated the above article at FLC, there are concerns about the prose. The prose isn't actually that long, once you take out all the lists and references. I was wondering if you had the time, could you help copy edit it. I did come to wish you well the other day, but your talk page was fully protected (so us mere mortals couldn't edit it :().

You have become somewhat legendary among my AP class. They enjoy your ruthless wit and writing style! Your assistance to the project does not go unnoticed; it is a point of honor when you take the time to review their efforts. Having you as an ally seems to boost the confidence - they dare not imagine the alternative! Irregardless, know that in out little part of the world your perspective and support is highly respected and appreciated. --] (]) 02:13, 11 March 2009 (UTC) |
