Instructions

If you notice that a Wikipedia user is showing signs of stress, taking a wikibreak, or considering leaving the project altogether, please add the user to the appropriate list below so that the Esperanza community can intervene with encouraging comments and suggestions. You are welcome to add your own username to any of the lists if you wish to receive support from the community. Or if someone else has added your user name to the list and you wish to be left alone, you may remove yourself from the list.

Each entry should remain on this page until the issue is resolved or for approximately one month. "Leaving Wikipedia" alerts that do not succeed in encouraging prominent users to stay with the project should be archived to the list of missing Wikipedians.

Stressbusters has some suggestions for actions you might take in response to these alerts.

Deryck C. (self-added) After a conflict with my parents last night and some eye illnesses, I figured out that I can't use the computer anymore. Today is the last chance for me to leave a notice of withdrawal, and I think this is its best place to be. If my recovery (both physical and mental) is well enough, I might come back after a few months. One last notice: please help me with the blanking vandalism of La Salle College. 15 July 2006 23:07 (HKT)

Stressed Users

User: Reason: Date:
Enlil_Ninlil (talk · contribs) Just looked at the user's page and found that wikistress level was quite high. 15:42, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
LGagnon (talk · contribs) Disgusted with Wikipedia's pro-Ayn Rand POV. Don't actually believe the NPOV rule is enforced for articles related to Rand. Disgusted with how the admins refuse to stop pro-Rand vandalism on articles related to her. Don't actually believe we have a real anti-vandalism method that works, as dispute resolution never does anything. 18:40, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Osbus (talk · contribs) This user is busy 22:38, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Petros471 RFA is getting on my nerves (several things there); as are users who think they can do whatever they want and get away with it and can. I'm probably the closest yet to just giving up, so good thing I'm soon on enforced wikibreak (real life holiday in a couple of weeks). 15:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Fredil Yupigo Just take a look at the user page for more info. 01:59, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Fir0002 "but I"m thinking more in terms of permanently leaving. This used to be such an enjoyable experience and community ..." [1]. Looks like stress over featured picture candidates being listed for delisting or something. Anyway would be a huge shame to see Wikipedia's no.1 [citation needed] featured photographer leave. 17:53, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Minun Just want to be a good editor 19:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Tdxiang I (User:Tachikoma) was following random links and found this user, who sounds quite desperate. 08:53, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Aminz Such a fair-minded and helpful contributor who was blocked for - well what? Nothing more than defending someone else, at worst. Now he is trying to destress. Hope he comes back. 14:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Go for it! User page shows that this user is under a lot of stress.

Chili14 (talk · contribs) I am having sig issues. I asked for help from a very reliable source, but the kind help she offered did no good. I am also being affected by issues unrelated to Wikipedia. I will be taking a break soon, after I do what I need to do. 03:56, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Julz I just don't feel like getting on. Getting boring and I got ticked off about the whole PreTeen thing.I just wanted to help collaberate with other preteens. But apprently people felt I was running a cult or something. I'm Meh'd out. Probably anytime in a month or 2.
