Note 2: When it is April fool's day, DO NOT TROUT ME as an April Fool's joke. In the past I had a trout button which I removed due to persistent abuse of it. If you trout me on april fool's day I will revert you and ask that you do not do it again.
Considering retirement
This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived. |
Hello all. I'm sure some of you will have noticed that I have placed {{considering retirement}} on my talk page. I have my reasons for this, tho it is nothing that necessarily involves me. Technically it involves everyone editing or viewing Wikipedia. Due to some circumstances regarding the higher-higher-ups (as in beyond admins) I'm not sure if I want to remain an editor on Wikipedia. If I have known you on Wikipedia for a while and you really wish to know more details then let me know here and I will send you an email with the details. I do not wish the details to be shared publicly here on Wikipedia or on the Wikipedia Discord server, or anywhere else involving Wikipedia and the WMF (excluding other Wiki's running on the mediawiki software that are otherwise not associated with the WMF). As the template says, nothing is set in stone at the moment, though it is something I am considering. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:15, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- That seems a shame. As long as you have been enjoying editing here and as log as you have been abiding by the rules I see no reason for you to allow other people to control your behaviour. Since I have not seen any divergence from the rules it must be that you are not quite enjoying yourself. By all means take a wiki break. I took one for several years. It was meant to be for a few months but I had burned out and lost the fun. For me, the fun is back. I hope it returns for you, too.
- I feel a sense of loss, since we have just met, but your staying because I ask would be your allowing me to control you. So stay, for as long as you want, and return when you want if you leave. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:39, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- I would love for other people to not control my behavior, however I don't really have a choice. If you'd like I will email you more details as said are not something I want public here on Wikipedia. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:41, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- If you wish to send it I will read it. It is very rare that I respond by email. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:56, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- I understand the points you make in your email. I know others have felt those things before. What they have found is that it generally all comes good in the end.
- Out of deference to you and in accordance with the rules, I may not reveal, even by my answers, any of the actual points in your email 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:19, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you. I may choose to reveal them in the future. But for now they remain private via email. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:20, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- If I have any advice for you, it is to choose to ignore the things you emailed me about, simply because nor you nor I can affect them. If building the encyclopaedia is enough fun then the rest of whatever it is you sent me can safely be ignored. This is why I concentrate on building the encyclopaedia by reviewing by writing, be improving, by offering article for deletion, etc etc. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 23:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- That's not something that's easy to do considering how much it can affect me. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 23:43, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- I hope you can stay Blaze Wolf. You were the one of the first editors I interacted with at the Teahouse, and you gave me a lift when I was a struggling newbie who didn't even know how to upload an image. If you would like to talk about something, feel free to email or DM me on Discord ‡ The Night Watch ω (talk) 01:12, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Blaze Wolf! I saw the considering retirement above, and though I would understand, I hope you get to a place where you can choose to stay. You're a valuable editor on this project and you've been a big help to me, as well as others! Like I said, I would totally understand, but I sincerely hope to see you stay.

Alright fine...
Alright fine, I get it. But does this mean that I cannot know any fellow Wikipedians better by asking about their personal interests and knowing a bit about their background? I do see that some Wikipedians are very friendly and are totally alright with people chatting with them though... Bertlookslikebowler (talk) 19:54, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Bertlookslikebowler 🙂 Vincent-vst🚀 (talk) 20:06, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Bertlookslikebowler: Most of the time no. You can ask about that stuff on the Discord. And while some Wikipedians are fine with it, the general rule on Wikipedia is that stuff like that is not appropriate per WP:NOTAFORUM. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:10, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Blaze Wolf: Alright, that sounds fair enough. Anyways, take it lightly! Some rules, are meant to be broken :) Bertlookslikebowler (talk) 16:59, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Bertlookslikebowler: Not on Wikipedia. There are situations where you have to break a rule to improve the encyclopedia, however simply engaging in general chit-chat is never one of those situations. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:15, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Bertlookslikebowler: The edit of yours Blaze Wolf reverted was at best inappropriate. This edit you made to User talk:CAPTAIN RAJU was worse. I consider it trolling. I didn't revert it because it's not vandalism and because CAPTAIN RAJU is a very experienced editor and can deal with it how they see fit. However, if you persist in making these kinds of edits, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:36, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Blaze Wolf Bbb23 Yeah, you guys got a point. Seems like Wikipedia isn't the place to chill a bit, there are so many strict rules to abide by here.. Anyways, in your opinions, do you think these sort of rules like WP:NOTAFORUM are essential? I wish I can abolish this rule though :) Bertlookslikebowler (talk) 09:13, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
- @bertlookslikebowler: quoting from an essay by an administrator: "wikipedia is an encyclopedia. the primary job of wikipedians is to write it. everything else is secondary." → lettherebedarklight → 晚安 → おやすみ → 14:42, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Question from Nicholas Bobby Chadee (02:09, 25 November 2022)
How can I add information about myself so that others may know about me? --Nicholas Bobby Chadee (talk) 02:09, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Nicholas Bobby Chadee: Well, are you notable according to our definition? ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 02:17, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
