	== uw project stagnation ==

	Hi Khukri.You've seen my latest comments. I'm working hard (from the community side) with the WMF to develop improved new user reception and page patrolling. I think it may be time to revitalise the project and perhaps send a newsletter to the project members, and perhaps to some of the more prolific participants from . I used to participate quite rgularly but due to rather a lot of lacklustre comments (some bordering on hostile), I also tended to pay less attention to the project. I'm more than willing to help out on this, and feel that my own RL experience in cross-cultural work could eventually be useful. --] (]) 03:45, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Atomises

You might be interested in taking a look at the above SPI case, as your name has been mentioned. Cheers, Tiptoety 02:30, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

S'ok I know it's me :) To be honest I had enough and decided to just create an account to edit articles and avoid the bullshit wiki lawyering that is prevalent everywhere, and would have carried on if I hadn't been so stupid when I got annoyed about the misuse of the full PP. Just in my defence and I know it doesn't matter much now, I have never edited from IP/Khukri/Atomises in conflict of either account. Though the account was undeclared it doesn't fall foul of WP:ILLEGIT with maybe the exception of WP:SCRUTINY but as the account was being used in good faith and not to benefit my main account I do not consider it so. Atomises was a new account just to start writing new articles I know it may get killed as a sock but no harm done.

Why I'm done... unfortunately though her interest above were good Maryana's post above acted as a catalyst to review my role and what I actually do here, and to be honest it's sweet feck all. I consider I did a lot of good along time ago now I baby sit a load of articles trying to stop POV and had put myself into a nanny role. A discussion on WT:UW made me realise that I don't do anything here and with everyone being an expert for even the most minor changes it can be a conflict to do the most minor modifications to any article. So I decided to create an account to write about what I do know about, particle accelerators, where very few editors can stick their nose in and minimise as I mentioned above the bikeshed issue. We have a whole class of editor that stalk from talk page to talk page giving their input on everything from climate change to renaissance art popping up on RFCs or ArbComms when it's bugger all to do with them and not actually contributing. The screw up with the Atomises account would have shown up in CU that I was Khukri, so it forced my hand so to speak to evaluate my role and change my wiki hiatus to leaving as there's no way I could continue in good faith.

It's no wonder numbers of new editors are falling, we, and looking through my deletions I'm most probably just as guilty in the past, hound all new editors and don't nurture them and develop their interest. I created an article Low Energy Ion Ring and within 5 minutes of my first save, someone came and slapped a notability and unreferenced tag on the article. No message to me as the article creator, No how can we help, No what are you doing, just a flyby template and the editor was on to his next article. Two official looking templates threatening deletion or content removal within 5 minutes of the arrival of a new editor, of course new editors are going to think "Why the buggery should I bother, rude bastards"

Some of you may read this and instantly get defensive but all I ask if any admins or experienced users read this, please evaluate your role and do you guide new editors and try to develop the project or just consider yourself an awesome wiki-lawer and know the nuance of everyone one of our multitudinous guidelines. Why are you here? I found out it was for the wrong reasons I hope you don't find the same. 178.250.210.5 (talk) 09:34, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

I saw this on ANI. If it's any consolation to you, the editor who tagged Atomises' article has actually improved his habits! He had tagged my first article for speedy A7 deletion even though it did have a reference. Have mörser, will travel (talk) 06:24, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
