Yintan has left the building. And this time for real.

I've been here a few years now and nothing changes. Misplaced Pages does not get better. It gets bigger and there's more irrelevant and unsourced trivia added everyday (thank god for the List of fictional half-angels), but it does not get better. It's still considered unreliable and with good reason. It gets vandalized, and vandalized, and vandalized again. Obvious vandalism ("GAYYYYYYY")is, in all its childish stupidity, pretty easy to spot but the more subtle vandals make tiny changes and introduce errors that go unnoticed for a long time.

Trying to keep the wiki clean and turn it into a truly reliable encyclopedia is a dream. The 'anyone can edit' policy will always prevent that from happening. And if an article finally is clean, reliable, sourced and GA, some appears and turns it into a piece of badly written drivel again. Because this is the encyclopedia anyone can edit. Sigh. I'm wasting my time here. Misplaced Pages will never become a proper encyclopedia. Pity it took me over 30.000 edits to realize that but better late than never.

I'm out of here. So thanks and goodbyes to all well meaning editors, kudos to Faizan and the Kangaroo, but this time I've really had enough.  Yinta 23:10, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
