As per the viewpoints expressed on the project talk page and by looking into my heart, I have decided to withdraw my name from list of members of this project. As somewhat said on the talk page, userpages are for self-expression but I think it should stop there. Wikipedia is not MySpace. I have no problem with creating cool user pages, but when a user such as yourself, the creator of this project, has more userspace edits than another other category I start to wonder if they are here for the right reasons. I will admit to having more than my fair share of user page edits, however, they represent less than 10% of my total edits and I don't plan to be making that much more in the future. I do not support this project and I am ashamed to have added my name to the list of participants without fully exploring what this creative yet unencyclopedic project entailed.
Thank you and best wishes. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 20:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
I understand you position, and I repsect your opinion. But what you also need to take into consideration is what kind of edits I made, not only the numbers. In the beginning I used to create very long edits and use the preview function. That did not work for the userpage, since that cache was keeping come of the old content, so most of my userpage edits are minor.Recently I changed that habit, in any case thank you for being sincere.
You are right that it is about quality over quantity regarding edits. I know your intentions were good in starting this WikiProject. Please do not take my remarks personally as they address a broader problem--of focusing on user pages rather than articles and clean-up work.
Again, best wishes on Wikipedia. Dustimagic!(T/C) 15:33, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
