Retired
This user is no longer active on Wikipedia.

I have decided to retire because I am sick and tired of dealing with some of the nitpicking and overzealous administrators who seem to be crawling all over Wikipedia. These administrators, who seem to be on a "power trip", delight in following certain editors around trying to catch them in minor violations of Wikipedia rules so they can threaten them with blocking. I don't like the fact that I am trying to make positive and constructive edits, and yet, certain administrators nitpick and bust my balls over minutia. Most of the photos which I have uploaded have been deleted, despite the fact that I have attached the proper source and copyright information to the image's description page. One administrator has accused me of being a "sock puppetmaster" because someone with the same IP address has been making what he calls "disruptive edits". I know that I'm not the only editor who feels this way, and sooner or later, Wikipedia is going to have to face the fact that some of their administrators are driving away editors who wish nothing more than to make positive contributions to this project without being nitpicked and harassed. Good luck to all like-minded Wikipedia editors, but I want no part of this place anymore!



I am Citizen Dick. I live in Staten Island, New York, and while I was an occasional user of Wikipedia, I have retired as an editor, and I will no longer waste my time on the project.
