Revision as of 23:24, 12 October 2014 by Lightbreather (talk | contribs) (begin last archive)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)| After over seven years of editing - over one year of active editing - I am throwing in the towel. Of my edits, 50% of the 11,000+ were to the mainspace. I worked, hard, to balance the POV on gun-control related pages. Ditto for porn coverage. (I wasn't very successful at either.) I was just getting started on some feminism and sexism pages. I also worked hard to see civility improved in the editing environment, to align with the civility policy. The gun-control and civility discussions were some of the most aggressive, uncivil "discussions" that I have experienced in my nearly 40 years as an adult and as a professional communicator. I sure hope Misplaced Pages becomes more welcoming and diverse before my granddaughters grow up. There are a lot of men here, and some women too, who have their heads in the sand regarding how the aggressive, uncivil editing environment on Misplaced Pages effects not only the makeup of the editorial body, but also the quality of the encyclopedia's content. - Lightbreather |
