As the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. That's true on Wikipedia as well. Even the most invested contributors to our site eventually retire to some greater or lesser extent from Wikipedia, even if its only reducing their involvement to focus on other things.
Since retirement involves a departure, this essay will serve as guide to what you should think about for retiring either from the Military history Project or from Wikipedia as a whole, including points that you should address before departure and tips for helping you correctly convey your intentions.
