WIKIBREAK - I'm extending my break beyond my original plans. I may pop in and do a few little things, or make an edit or two as an IP (I try to sign the summary with "-db" most of the time) but mainly staying away. As I approach my 18th anniversary of being an editor (12 of them as admin), I'm debating what level of activity, if any, I want for the future.
Obviously there are tons of new articles that can be written, but the most basic core articles (the stuff that matters for primary and secondary english educational purposes) now exist and have for some time. That was the reason I got involved in 2006, and now editing is more about maintenance, as well as dealing with spam and vandalism. In many ways, Wikipedia is a victim of it's own success (including financial), and I'm not convinced it is the best use of my altruistic time anymore. We will see.
