RETIRED
This user no longer works as an administrator or copyright violation investigator. I still edit occasionally.

I've been very quiet on wikipedia of late as I consider my future editing this project. There are two main reasons for this and both are related to how wikipedia is run, largely out of control. Specifically these are arbcom and software development. One or the other I could probably cope with but taken together they have created an environment is which I no no longer feel able to regularly contribute, or indeed one is which I'm valued. I'll write more on these two below. I suspect it's unlikely that I'll stop editing entirely - I'll likely still fix mistakes I find while browsing - but I also can't see my activity level returning to what it was unless things change, and change drastically. My old user page is below the explanation for this decision. I resigned my admin rights on 27 November 2014 after further interactions with ArbCom made me realise how broken ArbCom (and most other top level processes, such as oversight) is.
