=== [[You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It)|Dear SandyGeorgia]] ===
<poem>
Dear SandyGeorgia
I am writing this to you;
And I hope that you will read it so you'll know...
My heart beats like a hammer,
and I stutter and I stammer,
every time I see your edits grow.

I guess I'm just another fan of yours
and I thought I'd write and tell you so......

You made me come back...
I didn't want to do it
I didn't want to do it,
but you forced my hand!

And all the time you knew it,
I guess you always knew it--
I think you're grand!!!!

Your work here stuns me!
I didn't wanna tell ya,
But I had to tell ya--
You'll understand!

That's true, yes I do, deed I do you know I do.

I don't care what happens let the whole world stop,
As far as I'm concerned, you're a Wiki Star!

You know you made me love you!!!!
</poem>

Sandy, I'll be thinking of you this holiday season. You've been a great inspiration to many many editors on Wikipedia; you should feel proud of your accomplishments here and that so often you are right (though sometimes it takes a while for people to get the message!). I'm sorry to find this message on your page but fully understand the reasons. The frustrations are huge and all to often overwhelming. Be well and best.

I understand how powerless we are in the face of these changing times on Wikipedia, and I know that all good things must eventually end, yet I can not refrain from posting here my admiration of your skills and conduct while you were working as an FAC delegate, nor the sorrow I feel as our community loses yet another skilled volunteer due to project apathy. In my eyes, you represent that which is greatest in us all, and I consider myself honored to have received your input on the articles I ran through FAC.  Wherever you will go, and whatever you do, I wish you the best of luck and fortune, and pray that you always remain faithful to yourself and and your beliefs. 

Your sincerely and respectfully,<br/>

I'm not sure how exactly to respond, but I do know this much: FAC has lost an extraordinary editor. Among all the turmoil that plagues Wikipedia from time to time, you have always been a rock, Sandy. Thanks for all that you've done, and give 'em hell. [[User:Dabomb87|Dabomb87]] ([[User talk:Dabomb87|talk]]) 16:58, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Sandy, I always really respected and admired your work at FAC a lot. The rigour that you brought to the process has kept the level of new FAs very high. And thank you for your guidance during the FACs I was involved in. I'm sorry to see you leave your post as an FAC delegate. But I'm also happy for you that now you're going to have time to work on medical articles. I'm sure that's going to be great for you to just be free to do lots of fun editing without having to worry about the responsibilities of FAC. Good luck with all your future projects!

Hi.  Happy New Year.  I just wanted to thank you for all the great work you have done at FA over the years (and all the help you have given me), and I hope we get to work on some articles together soon.  I hope you have been able to spend more time on writing that is enjoyable for you.  All the best!  -- [[User:Ssilvers|Ssilvers]] ([[User talk:Ssilvers|talk]]) 22:50, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

=== Recent comments ===

Bleh my mistake, I didn't see the full history that went back months ago. I thought the recent attack on FAC by TCO and friends had slightly to do with the Malleus ArbCom case because of his involvement with FAC and the bullshit claims (which I heard from quite a number of users, including administrators who should know better) of "favoritism" in the FAC reviewing. Also I been a bit out of touch with the FAC community, as I never seen such drama in the FAC talk page, and this being discussed the same time as the Malleus case, it seemed like it was radical editors adding fuel to everything Malleus is involved with. We are here to build an serious encyclopedia first and foremost, and not drive away our best editors and article writers or attacking our policies and guidelines. Some users obviously don't seem to get the point and need to stop. 

It's very sad to see you leave FAC, as you are the no nonsense editor this very important process needed, and you are among the best in reading consensus and understanding policies. Enjoy being a regular editor and I hope you still leave your feedback on certain FACs. 

As for me I'm going to participate in FAC more often, including image reviewing and online source/fact checking (though not much in prose as that's a weakness). I couldn't in the past few years because of my poor health and my online spottiness but I have more time this year. Thanks [[User:Secret|Secret]] <sup>[[User talk:Secret|account]]</sup> 07:26, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

: No problem at all, Secret: I just happen to be a TPS and didn't want the notion that I resigned over the Malleus situation to take hold.  Malleus is a huge net positive at FAC.  As to "favoritism" in FAC reviewing, cowards can say anything anywhere on the internet, but they rarely say those things out in public and open forums, where the truth gets dissected.  I'm glad you'll be reviewing more often!  [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy<span style="color:green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 14:52, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Sandy...we haven't always agreed of course, less so lately than I'd like. However, I have always appreciated your efforts in the past to do some copyediting on my FAC's and to provide a generally neutral assessment of my research and especially my admittedly mediocre quality prose. If indeed, as you have stated, we have a core topic area that is suffering with an influx of inaccurate data and your time would be better spent helping to correct that issue, then, as one who is primarily a researcher, I applaud your desires to refocus your energies towards helping ensure we maintain reliability and accuracy in our articles...I have always believed that such is far more important than prose, even in at the FA level, though I recognize that it is prose that is a determining factor (and should be) for any bronze star.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 18:51, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Do you feel comfortable in explaining why you resigned as a FAC delegate? Just curious. Thanks for your services by the way. You did an amazing job.

::::Why would your profile be lower anyway? FA delegates have to be cautiously circumspect in the FAC arena, not something that reviewers have to worry about. And from experience, I'd say that reviewers get their fair share of flak there just as delegates do.

Those days are gone-- it's less about [[WP:V|sily]] Wikipedia [[WP:COPYVIO|policy]] and more about getting along with WMF employees and WMF goals (there are starting to be more of them than us, and their goals are quantity, not quality--when you're getting paid, you need to show results that aren't necessarily in line with the unpaid volunteers). {{pb}}You helped write [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches|that Dispatch]] (in fact, it may have been you who suggested the makeup of the entire team I put together for that); you knew the line on copyvio and plagiarism as well as everyone else involved did, and you knew the problems at DYK better than most.  But now, with declining editorship, they seek more quantity-- not more quality-- in all things Wikipedian.  And, what with [[SOPA]], I don't think the WMF would like the world to know just how much copyvio really exists in here.

Nikkimaria (new since then) is the only person still working on the issues at DYK, and she's doing it all alone. In the interim, Rlevse came back to his old haunts at DYK, and fit right in, unnoticed.  {{pb}}Yes, relative to when you were there and when the Dispatch was written, at DYK they are finally talking about copyright and plagiarism (um, because I make them talk about it ;), but the goalposts have moved, what was clear copyvio when the Dispatch was written no longer is, DYK has chosen to walk close to the line on those borderline cases (quantity over quality), and I'm being shot at ANI for being the messenger about the problem.  And all those "friends" who will sooooooo miss me at FAC are likely to stay silent; can't blame 'em (although I was never silent when it came to defending them or their content)-- going up against WMF and their quantity over quality goals ain't easy.

# Here is where we find copyvio investigations (which include '''gazillions''' that haven't been addressed for '''years'''):  [[WP:CCI]]
# Here is where we find Rlevse copyvio investigations:
#: [[Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Vanished 6551232]] (year and a half old)
#: [[Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/PumpkinSky]]
# Here is where we find that it took the CCI '''a full year''' to clear [[Frederick Russell Burnham]], and it was cleared by a fellow arb: [[Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Vanished 6551232#Articles 261 through 280]]
So, why is this on my talk?

:: Same ole, same ole: '''admin abuse'''.  That is what fuels the frustration.  There's some poor newbie on Rklawton's talk page, trying to write a medical article about fear of flying, and not only has Rklawton given him consistently bad information-- go look at the horrid, snarky responses at Lawton's talk (unless he's already deleted them).  Those are the kinds of folks sporting tools in here !!!!  Bish turned in her tools so she could see what it felt like on the other side-- that, interestingly, is one of the reasons I never wanted them.  I wanted to know what it felt like, always, to be a regular bloke, I wanted to understand as well as I did when the FeloniousMonk cabal went after me-- just what it was to be in this place where abusive admins exercise their tools, or the threats of their tools, for no other reason than to make their little peepees get hard.  Nothing has changed even with the desysopping of FeloniousMonk (over evidence it took me a month to put together), and unless our increasingly dense (or whatever words MastCell used, see diff above) arbs get that it's all about abuse of the regular editor, nothing will change.  Here's what is freaky:  I'm a high profile, experienced editor with a clean block log and (I thought-- now I know not to be true) a lot of friends who could shield me from abusive admins.  So ... what happens to the little guys?  I shudder to think what it's like in here for them.  I don't want to be part of such a sick place-- and I knew that when I saw an FA writer taunting another FA writer with his number of FAs.  My work here fed such divas.

We're here to fix this shit because millions of people are googling how old Beethoven was when he died or what the hell the difference is between Democratic Republic of the Congo and Republic of the Congo. And they are ending up on Wikipedia, so we need to make sure they have the right information and that it's as professional in presentation as possible. I would personally stick up for you until the day I die, but in the end ANI and ArbCom and all these silly venues are no more meaningful to me than if I had a sunken pit of drunken hogs in my backyard that just rooted around and oinked and bit each other all day.

Like Malleus, all I did in here was help others get their rewards, improve content, some of those people turned into divas, some of them are selfish, and for that work-- and giving an honest defense with diffs against a false, undiffed charge-- I got threatened with a block in the most unsavory terms:<blockquote>... if you persist, I will recommend you be stopped.

Worse, I can't even defend myself now, or he could block me.  The analogy is I don't want to be part of the sunken pit of drunken hogs in my backyard.

Without commenting on the drama side of things (my head hurts just from reading through it), I can say just from the bit I've done at CCI that it's a tough job that very few are actually willing to tackle. I get why Sandy's frustrated with it, since it shows there's a huge amount of plagiarism we have to find yet. I only did the diffs Rlevse himself posted on that TFA (the only major text addition was the current second paragraph of the lead), which means we have paraphrase issues with the editor who wrote most of that article (the original sentence in question at the talk was added [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Frederick_Russell_Burnham&action=historysubmit&diff=88951432&oldid=88905137 here]. As for my point, well, I have three. Copyright is something that needs to be tackled, but if I went berserk every time I caught something I would have been carted away from here long ago. Second, those are the types of editors we need to find and add to our ranks, those who are knowledgeable about the process and can tackle it, since few do now. Third, those running the main page should make sure nothing rlevse nominated gets put there again just to be on the safe side. As for me, I'm going to start shopping Burnham, now that I'm looking through the entire article there is quite a bit of trouble, a lot of it dating back to 2006.
