As of March 26, 2008, I'm leaving the project - I've tried taking breaks, but whenever I come back, it takes too much time from other things. I'd like any passing Admin to put my account into stasis, just to discourage the 'wonder what's going on with ... what happened to the last hour?' incidents. Maybe I'll come back eventually, but in the meantime, here is a list of things that were in need of monitoring when I left:

  • hydrino theory - User:TStolper1W is persistent and a single-purpose vandal. Unless he's blocked, need to keep cleaning up the mess.
  • Disclosure Project and Steven M. Greer - I just removed a bunch of un-necessary and POV material from these two pages. Please make sure the UFO enthusiasts don't go wild on it again. Probably the same level of monitoring as Crop circle would do it.
  • Kardashev scale - this is a simple idea. Keep the article brief and on topic.
  • What the Bleep Do We Know - keep the TM out, make it clear the thing is nonsense, etc.
  • TM - do try to get the TMers from Maharishi University of Management to stop editing a page where they have such a big conflict of interest.
  • everything else on my watchlist.

I fear that Wikipedia is approaching the point where the rate of addition of new content is less than the rate of addition of new vandalism and junk - such that even with the current bots, most editing will end up being cleanup. I think I've done enough trash-picking here. Good luck. Michaelbusch (talk) 06:58, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
