Retired

This user is no longer active on Wikipedia.

I leave you with a short poem:

20, en-wiki came of age 
a time to be be set free
Instead, down comes the cage
You know who, sculptors of irony
those Donatellos of ambition
without much foresight

"Quack!" said the snake 
The future a mystery
constriction tight 
delusion profound
Oh oracle of sense, behold thee

Now civil society, 
but where's the flair 
Joy, color, jubilance
scene of a fair

the monument intact
hurtling through time
Soon to be dusted
gravestone to an idea 

What will become
when all is said, and done
of the shadow of a time
community thriving and fun

Is it too soon, 
should we sink on the ship
or with feet, vote 
while memory persists?

Away to those who flew
to vibrance, new horizons

I too, skeleton crew

Wanted to look and see what you were doing, and to my shock, you are now retired. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, and as you recognized my early work with my first barnstar it definitely gave me the boost I needed to keep contributing and grow as a user here. I keep that Bengal kitten image framed on my talk page to this day; good luck with your life, and I hope, with good intentions, you realize bowling is not a good replacement hobby and eventually return.

Thank you for your kind words, 🥪. Hope you're doing well. I swear if i took up bowling i'd be 600lbs heavier by the end of the year. Every time i've been bowling in my life it's involved pizza, including the last time when i was living in the U.S and was able to order a pepperoni pizza literally the size of a table. Fortunately i've taken up trail running, which i've found is a great way to get fitter and explore local places i've never been. Kind regards, Zindor (talk) 14:46, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

User:Cesdeva/sandbox15

I request your OK to blank or delete User:Cesdeva/sandbox15. I assume you have no further use for it. There is a campaign in Wikipedia to eradicate lint errors, especially high and medium priority lint errors. Of User:Cesdeva's sandboxes, this is the only one that has a high or medium priority lint error, specifically, a div-span-flip lint error, which is caused by nested {{PortalButton}} templates. The text parameter of this template is supposed to be inline text, and is not supposed to have block-level items, which would be at minimum <div>...</div> (which is present here) and worse, entire {{PortalButton}} templates. I do not see any workaround, except to un-nest the templates. Since you say you are retired, I will wait, and if you don't reply, after awhile I will go ahead and blank the page. But I would prefer to have the closure of having your OK. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk) 23:34, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for reaching out, Anomalocaris. Yes it's ok if you blank or tag the page for G7. If there's any others causing issues feel free to do the same. Unfortunately during the Portals reboot there wasn't much enthusiasm for a complete UI overhaul, so the button project got abandoned, and being pre-templatestyles there were too many headaches trying to make a one-size-fits-all template. I've now marked the template as un-maintained. If you're up for a side-mission, i just noticed there's 9 orphaned subpages of Portal:Herbalism/ begging for a G8.
