Retired

This user is no longer active on Wikipedia.

It's hard to say goodbye to a community that I have been a part of for seven years. During my time as a contributor to Wikipedia, I have grown tremendously as a writer, and have added in many ways, large and small, to countless numbers of articles, and have participated in countless numbers of discussions. However, I have come to realize within the past year that I have reached both the limits of what I can accomplish within the Wikipedia community, and also the limits of my patience in interacting with other members of the Wikipedia community. Thus I feel that it is time for me to move on.

While I still believe in Wikipedia's mission to amass the sum of all human knowledge, I fear that the project may fail because the community will, over time, destroy itself due to what I perceive as constant infighting, the holding of long-term grudges by many users, and general rudeness and incivility on the part of many, which has an alienating effect on other users, both new and seasoned. As an administrator, I received more abuse than I would ever wish on anyone that is doing volunteer work, and this often extended beyond Wikipedia to my website, my Facebook, my Twitter, and my personal email, despite my best efforts to direct all Wikipedia-related inquiries back to Wikipedia. Because of this, I was never really able to escape from Wikipedia, even when using it for research, and it took a toll on me, turning what might otherwise have been an enjoyable activity into a chore, causing me to dread seeing the orange "You have new messages" bar come up, because it inevitably meant having to listen to more whining.

I soon found it increasingly difficult for me to justify to myself why I was still doing volunteer work for a project that I no longer found enjoyable. When I logged out of Wikipedia by choice and left it logged out, I soon came to realize that by not participating in Wikipedia, my stress levels went down, and I generally found myself to be much happier.

I believe that my best days are still ahead of me, but now it is time for me to forge my own path, endeavoring in new works and projects separate from those of the Wikipedia community. I wish all of you the best in your future endeavors, and perhaps our paths will cross again some day. SchuminWeb (Talk) 06:49, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

KrisWorld

I am trying to find out why the Kris World page was deleted. I was looking for info on the Panasonic 2000 and 3000 IFE systems and KrisWorld had descent info about those IFE systems as well as info on the new Panasonic eX2 GCS IFE systems. I looked at the Singapore wiki and it doesn't contain the in depth IFE info that KrisWorld had (panasonic AVOD and various IFE changes). Also the Singapore wiki now has dead links for the KrisWorld citations. If you found other wikis that contain Panasonic IFE info, especially about the 2000 and 3000 series, I would like to see tham. thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.76.32.145 (talk) 01:08, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

That was deleted through the proposed deletion process. Because it was done through that process, it is restored without question. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:57, 9 April 2

Ephriam Clampin Vipers

Sorry I don't know how else to communicate with you other than this. Please send me a message, my user name is caborocker and my wikipedia page you deleted was Ephriam Clampin Vipers. You have so many locks in place that I am not able to contact you in any way even though I am a registered user on here. I am very upset and need to talk with you why you deleted a page under construction when another OK'd it. --Caborocker (talk) 21:29, 9 April 2009 (UTC)Tony

There was no claim to notability made, and therefore it was deleted under speedy deletion criterion A7. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:03, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Gillig

I was wondering why my edits to the Gillig page were reverted. There is, in fact, a poster known as Gillig on the Rivals Mainboard (200,000+members) and my edit was NOT vandalism, but was actually a valid change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.27.142.166 (talk) 05:54, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Zentai

JBsupreme (t, c) has removed valuable sections from Zentai article again. --93.136.47.104 (talk) 09:08, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I'm thinking it's a lost cause at this point to try and re-add it unless we come back with good citations. SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:25, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I didn't want to go there, but you insist on being a small minded obtuse imbecile. 86.40.101.207 (talk) 11:21, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
