If someone is doing loads of genuine, good-faith work, <i>don't get in their way</i>! Imperfections can be addressed in due course. This site is bleeding too many editors, and the last thing we should do is discourage work. Editors should ask themselves whether they are fairly interpreting policies/guidelines or becoming so wound up and appearing as pesky hall monitors, insisting that every 'i' is crossed and 't' is dotted. Note that this isn't a call just to other editors, but also to myself. We need to check ourselves more here. </p><p>That all said, anyone intentionally breaking guidelines/policies or otherwise dropping messy, unorganized, unsourced, etc. content into articles deserves the wet trout treatment. ;) <a href="/wiki/User:StefenTower" title="User:StefenTower"><span style="color: #1b770d;"><b>Stefen <span style="white-space: nowrap;">𝕋ower<sub>s among the rest!</sub></span></b></span></a> <sup><i><a class="mw-selflink selflink">Gab</a></i> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/StefenTower" title="Special:Contributions/StefenTower">Gruntwerk</a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:StefenTower#c-StefenTower-20240906225100-Let_editors_edit,_ffs" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:51, 6 September 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-StefenTower-20240906225100-Let_editors_edit,_ffs"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-StefenTower-20240906225100-Let_editors_edit,_ffs"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Annointed777-20240913000600-StefenTower-20240906225100"></span>Stefen, if it wasn't for you and another another patient person on Wikipedia, I would not have continued here. It is very intimidating when you first get on Wikipedia. I was having panic attacks every time I pressed publish. I hope this post helps others become a mentor like you are. I appreciate you so much! I think I am your number one fan, but I am sure I am only one of many who feel this way! Thank you Stefen for your support. It would be great if there was a promotion to get more editors on.

This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes. <a class="external autonumber" href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/66ZW7B2MG63AESQVTXDIFQBDBS766JGW/">[16]</a></li></ul> <p><b>Meetings and events</b> </p> <ul><li>October 4–6: <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/WikiIndaba_conference_2024" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/WikiIndaba conference 2024">WikiIndaba Conference's Hackathon</a> in Johannesburg, South Africa</li> <li>November 4–6: <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conference_Fall_2024" class="extiw" title="mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024">MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024</a> in Vienna, Austria</li></ul> <p><i><b><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News">Tech news</a></b> prepared by <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Writers" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Writers">Tech News writers</a> and posted by <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/User:MediaWiki_message_delivery" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/User:MediaWiki message delivery">bot</a> • <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News#contribute" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News">Contribute</a> • <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/40" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/40">Translate</a> • <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech" class="extiw" title="m:Tech">Get help</a> • <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tech/News" class="extiw" title="m:Talk:Tech/News">Give feedback</a> • <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_message_delivery/Targets/Tech_ambassadors" class="extiw" title="m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors">Subscribe or unsubscribe</a>.</i> </p> </div> <p><bdi lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="/wiki/User:MediaWiki_message_delivery" title="User:MediaWiki message delivery">MediaWiki message delivery</a></bdi> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:StefenTower#c-MediaWiki_message_delivery-20240930221600-Tech_News:_2024-40" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:16, 30 September 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-MediaWiki_message_delivery-20240930221600-Tech_News:_2024-40"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-MediaWiki_message_delivery-20240930221600-Tech_News:_2024-40"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Category:Louisville_White_Sox_has_been_nominated_for_deletion" data-mw-thread-id="h-Category:Louisville_White_Sox_has_been_nominated_for_deletion-20241001145700"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Category:Louisville_White_Sox_has_been_nominated_for_deletion-20241001145700"></span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Category:Louisville_White_Sox&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Category:Louisville White Sox (page does not exist)">Category:Louisville White Sox</a> has been nominated for deletion<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Category:Louisville_White_Sox_has_been_nominated_for_deletion-20241001145700"></span></h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Omnis_Scientia-20241001145700-Category:Louisville_White_Sox_has_been_nominated_for_deletion"></span><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5f/Ambox_warning_orange.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_orange.svg.png" decoding="async" width="48" height="41" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5f/Ambox_warning_orange.svg/72px-Ambox_warning_orange.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5f/Ambox_warning_orange.svg/96px-Ambox_warning_orange.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="378" data-file-height="326"/></span></span></div><p><a href="/w/index.php?title=Category:Louisville_White_Sox&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Category:Louisville White Sox (page does not exist)">Category:Louisville White Sox</a> has been nominated for deletion.

Part of the problem is admins pretending not to see the problem, or attacking serious editors who raise the alarm, and that just compounds it. It's part of a growing pattern I have felt as an experienced editor, that those of us who want to do professional-grade work are being ground down and driven out by a platform that seems to encourage gameplay over serious editing. Sometimes even this gameplay pretends to be serious, with bad-faith actors who have figured out how to make their edits look proper when in reality they are destructive. </p><p>Further issues I see are increased unchecked POV pushing in articles, particularly history-related ones, as well as the usually unspoken but very clear bureaucratic animus against WikiProjects, especially at a time they are needed more than ever to focus the work. </p><p>There are just too many problems now to work against, and it seems in many areas that editors have simply vanished. The pool of editors is obviously dwindling, and the feeling that I'm having to carry the load of those who've left is unsettling. This is supposed to be a joyous volunteer site for doing interesting, productive work, but today's reality is it just feels like grueling, agonizing work for no remuneration, with very little joy. </p><p>Unfortunately, I feel that Wikipedia is going down the tubes, and I'm just too small of a voice to help avert this downfall. I'm going to work on things that are much more uplifting, where I can make more of a difference, and get more back for my hard work, including joy. <a href="/wiki/User:StefenTower" title="User:StefenTower"><span style="color: #1b770d;"><b>Stefen <span style="white-space: nowrap;">𝕋ower<sub>s among the rest!</sub></span></b></span></a> <sup><i><a class="mw-selflink selflink">Gab</a></i> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/StefenTower" title="Special:Contributions/StefenTower">Gruntwerk</a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:StefenTower#c-StefenTower-20241006201200-Retired_this_morning" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:12, 6 October 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-StefenTower-20241006201200-Retired_this_morning"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-StefenTower-20241006201200-Retired_this_morning"></span> </p>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?useformat=desktop&type=1x1&usesul3=0" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:StefenTower&oldid=1249783291">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:StefenTower&oldid=1249783291</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks catlinks-allhidden" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-hidden-catlinks" class="mw-hidden-catlinks mw-hidden-cats-hidden">Hidden category: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Retired_Wikipedians" title="Category:Retired Wikipedians">Retired Wikipedians</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 6 October 2024, at 20:15<span class="anonymous-show"> (UTC)</span>.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright"><span class="nowraplinks">This version of the page has been <a href="/wiki/Help:Page_history" title="Help:Page history">revised</a>.
