This user is taking a wikibreak. It might be long, it might be short. It depends on what happens now, because Misplaced Pages is at a vital crossroads. I think this AfD was the final straw, and closed by an Arb to boot. I joined the project to improve an encyclopedia; it is no longer an encyclopedia, but largely a collection of trivia which would be rejected as too cruft-ridden and badly-written to display to the world even by the most amateur of fansites. Having nearly 3,000,000 articles is nothing to boast about when a good percentage of them are an embarrassment. Unfortunately, the expansion of trivia is now being helped by a collection of editors who game the system to produce AfD results like that with a combination of canvassing, vote-spamming, cluelessness and incivil statements of intent. Misplaced Pages has a very bad record on dealing with problems like this, so this might be a long break. Take care everyone.
