| :Thanks--I appreciate the thought, but honestly, if I had stood up to the bully, I would have said something a year ago, and kept saying it. Instead I avoided the growing mess until I was so sick of him and those like him that I decided to leave the project, and didn't even read the thread that presumably grew from my post (or not). I'm glad I said something but it wasn't my most courageous hour, sadly. -- ] (]) 00:23, 5 December 2013 (UTC) | :Thanks--I appreciate the thought, but honestly, if I had stood up to the bully <small>(clarification: Eric Corbett)</small>, I would have said something a year ago, and kept saying it.

Reconsider?
This comes like a shock to me. It seems more and more good people are leaving. I wish you do well whether leave or decide to stay, but remember that your contributions here are well appreciated. Mohamed CJ (talk) 16:41, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- Support that, shock, seems, wish and appreciate, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:14, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- Very surprised to see you retire. Why was this? I hope it was nothing to do with what was said on Eric's talk page as that would be silly. You're entitled to say or think what you like of other editors but not everybody necessarily will fully agree. It isn't a reason to retire anyway. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:41, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- Have a safe retirement, Khazar, and hopes that you continue to fight the good fight on another front (though, of course, I did buy a new book on Udin... and apparently there is a court case going on, but no suspect). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 17:57, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- You were within spitting distance of your goals for 2013! I hope this is just one of those "heat of the moment" things. If not, best to you and the little Khazar. Curly Turkey (gobble) 19:00, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, man, this really blows. I hope you will come back. Taylor Trescott - + my edits 19:15, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- I am very sad to see this, seeing as I was just starting to get the chance to work with you on the UN stuff. You are valued, and I hope you reconsider after a nice long break. --Laser brain (talk) 19:24, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- I'm also sad to see this. Khazar is one of the kindest, most helpful editors around. I hope he does what's best for him, but he should know that if he returns after a rest he'll be welcomed with open arms. SlimVirgin 19:29, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks all--I really appreciate the kindness. Really it's sudden only in its timing, though I should have explained better on my page. I've been mulling this over for a while and took a month's wikibreak in October for similar reasons; as exciting as this project still is to me, I'm just burnt out on the environment. Today I happened to see a thread that made me think "y'know, I'm done", but if it hadn't been today, it would have just been something tomorrow.
- But I've got no regrets. I feel like I had a good run here, wrote some good articles and met a lot of good folks, and am ready to move on to whatever's next. (All that said, I did try to retire two years ago and it didn't stick--so it'd be overdramatic for me to say I'm gone for good for sure.) In any case, it's been a pleasure working with all of you! Cheers, and keep up the good work, -- Khazar2 (talk) 19:31, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- I saw the impetus which broke the camels back and it's sickening.--MONGO 19:47, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- Wow, what a blow for Misplaced Pages. I hope you realize how much you are appreciated (by me and others). Take some time to mentally recuperate and then come back soon, rejuvenated! Ruby 2010/2013 20:54, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- To reiterate what Ruby says above. You are appreciated and thank you for the great work over the years even in the face of a Misplaced Pages that WP:SUCKs. Now go enjoy your life.Regards, Sun Creator 21:18, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- I don't blame you. Misplaced Pages is a hobby and if you can't enjoy it, don't force yourself to continue. Maybe this community will eventually get the message and try to clean up the incivility. It will probably be too late by that point. AutomaticStrikeout (₵) 21:33, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- I hope you enjoy your retirement. You are an amazing editor and person—an example for many of us. You've made my experience here worthwhile, and I am grateful to have bumped into you in this project. Don't ever forget you have many friends here (including me) who admire you. All the best, ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 21:37, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- I'll miss you too, and I hope you again raise the enthusiasm to return. Take it easy. Yngvadottir (talk) 22:03, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- Saddened. I do hope you return, when the time is right. Kindest and fondest regards to you and yours. From Irondome (talk) 23:03, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- Well, let me explain this to you. You cannot leave! Don't do this to us
me! We will miss you a lot, Khazar :( — ΛΧΣ 23:05, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- I just thought I'd let you know how much I've enjoyed collaborating with you on the GA reviews for Jelena Balšić and Treblinka extermination camp. Your commitment to the project has been truly inspiring, and even if you never come back, I hope that my contributions to Misplaced Pages can fill some small part of the void you'll leave behind. But you've left and come back once before, so I hope you do so again! AmericanLemming (talk) 00:20, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks everybody, I'm really overwhelmed by your kindness. I'll have to remember to print this page tomorrow to keep in the Life File. -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:23, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

This giraffe is extremely sad to see you go, but wants to let you know how much it appreciates all the quality work you're done for Misplaced Pages. (I can tell all that, just by looking at its expression.)
It also hopes you return soon, and it thinks you're one of the best. I've never been one to argue with a giraffe, and I'm not going to start now. – Quadell 19:13, 4 December 2013 (UTC) |
It is a hard face to argue with. Cheers, -- Khazar2 (talk) 19:32, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
Disappointing
|
The Friendship Barnstar | |
| It has been an extreme pleasure to work with you at WP:WER/Editor of the Week. Your nominations kept the place going and they will be missed. Please know that the door is always open. ```Buster Seven Talk 19:45, 4 December 2013 (UTC) |
- It was a pleasure working with you as well, my friend. -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:23, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!
|
The Tireless Contributor Barnstar |
| This is you - a seemingly tireless contributor, although all of us can get tired of the at times confrontational community structure. Take a nap, but please don't leave us permanently, as I for one will certainly miss your work at both EotW and in GA reviews, predominantly for sports articles. We need excellent content contributors such as yourself. Best regards, Go Phightins! 21:41, 4 December 2013 (UTC) |
- Thanks, Go Phightins! I've always admired your contributions even if you are a Phillies fan. Misplaced Pages is all about building bridges, I say... -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:23, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar |
| You told it like it is. You stood up to the bully. Unfortunately, standing up to the bully doesn't work here because the bully has too many friends. It's no surprise that the bully treated you like you were inferior, but your pedigree shows that your contributions were very important and should not be overlooked. Too bad that doesn't matter to the bully. AutomaticStrikeout (₵) 22:11, 4 December 2013 (UTC) |

Sad to see it
|
The Barnstar of Integrity | |
| I, like many others, am sad to see you leave. In my short time under your mentorship, I learned a lot about what it means to be a Good Articles reviewer, a good editor, and generally a good member of the project. I got a real sense of the respect held by many for you, and of the great contribution you made to Good Articles, human rights, and Misplaced Pages as a whole. You were in many ways an inspiration, so I wish you and your family all the best, and I do hope that something down the line entices you back to the project when you feel refreshed. If there is ever anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask. — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 22:44, 4 December 2013 (UTC) |
- Cheers, Sasuke. It was a pleasure working with you--good luck with your reviewing! -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:23, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
Why!?
This kitten is very said that you're retiring. Just wanted to let you know that your contributions will never be forgotten.
