| I'm tired. I'm tired of feeling like the community runs on high-octane rage and like every policy or content discussion is all that stands between us and the end of the world. I'm sick of seeing people talk to each other as if they're not speaking to another human being, because typing words on a page makes it so much easier to say things you wouldn't say to someone's face. I'm exhausted from trying, in a tiny way in a few tiny corners, to make things suck here a smidgen less, and mostly feeling like I've failed, when I can muster the energy to try at all.<p> | |||

| This isn't a retirement message. I'm still here, and I'm still editing in my usual sporadic fashion. But I'm tired of the bad, and I want to hear the good. I would so, so appreciate it if anyone who stumbles across this message could leave me a note telling me what you love about Misplaced Pages. What you do or the community does that ''doesn't'' feel draining. What's gone right lately, for you and your work here, or for the project(s) themselves. Tell me something good that came out of your time here. Remind me why we put our energy into this thing in the first place. Show me somewhere on-wiki where people completely failed to be terrible to each other even though the chance was there. Show me editors being valued without being showered in the shiny baubles that make this feel a game of trinket collection instead of a collaboration.<p> | |||

Notes at the Requests page
Hi Fluffernutter, just a note about the GOCE Requests page. As you may know, that page is regularly archived by a bot, which removes the request about 24 hours after someone posts {{Done}} followed by a sig and a timestamp there. Any notes you leave for requesters or project coordinators will be removed as well. For that reason, it's usually best to leave notes for requesters on their talk pages, and notes for coordinators and the wider copy-editing community on the Requests page talk (REQ Talk), where discussions can continue uninterrupted. Some of us usually copy them over to REQ talk for future reference. Thanks for your work and understanding. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 10:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC).
- @Baffle gab1978: Aha! I had noticed you copying my comments to the talk page and started to wonder why, just hadn't gotten my attention span around to actually asking yet. Thank you so much for the clarification, and for cleaning up after me. I'll start using requester talk pages :) Fluffernutter (talk) 12:16, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- No problem, thanks for understanding. It's fine to leave short messages there but they may be archived if they become a discussion. These conversations are sometimes useful for recording how we dealt with past situations. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 06:52, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
The Signpost: 24 December 2024
- From the archives: Where to draw the line in reporting?
- Recent research: "Misplaced Pages editors are quite prosocial", but those motivated by "social image" may put quantity over quality
- Gallery: A feast of holidays and carols
- Traffic report: Was a long and dark December
