Wikipedia has become a toxic mess. Wikipedia is supposed to be an accessible source of good information available to anyone, and to maintain impartiality by presenting as fact only things which are widely acknowledged as such. Wikipedia is no longer that. Instead, it has become a tool for the atheistic and globalist ideology of the Great Reset. Valuable information is scuttered and impartiality abandoned as articles are made to cater specifically to those with short attention spans and philosophies consistent with the New World Order. Editors who protest are punished no matter how competent they are or how much they have contributed to the site, while almost any amount of belligerent behavior and incompetency is permitted as long as the editors who engage in such practices do so in the service of the left-wing consensus.
I have done my best to fight against this, but it has proven to be too much for me. I was indefinitely blocked from the site for not doing any more to advocate for conservative positions than many progressive editors advocate for progressive positions without suffering any consequences. More recently, I have been indefinitely blocked from the Andrew Jackson article, an article that I brought to featured article status and helped maintain, without satisfactory reason being given. Meanwhile, other editors who have adopted a battleground mentality on the talk page, made comments that were uncivil and blatant POV-pushing, edited disputed material without consensus, and frequently disrupted discussions were not punished and scarcely even reprimanded, including after I brought specific attention to many of these violations. I have made repeated unblock requests that have not been accepted, while I have been forced to watch as this article, which I have spent countless hours editing, has been wrecked through the removal of valuable content. Wikipedia is a trash heap that has been disgraced by editors who either do not have a clue how to create good content or do not care about doing so.
I have given the matter some thought and prayer, and decided that it is not worth the cost to my time and constitution to keep fighting these battles and trying to save a place that has grown so corrupt and decadent. I have done my duty and can do no more. So long as I am not completely blocked from the site, I will probably still make some gnomish edits from time to time, or revert some silliness here or there on articles that I have edited which have not yet gone the way of Andrew Jackson, but as far as embarking on any more large-scale projects here, I think I’m finished.
For those who intend to continue fighting for a good, comprehensive, and neutral encyclopedia, I pray that God’s blessings be upon them. With that, I step away. Display name 99 (talk) 18:12, 27 September 2022 (UTC)Hello. I created this account in 2011 but did not become a productive editor until 2015. You're likely to find me editing articles relating in some way to the Middle Ages or to the History of the United States, although I occasionally move to other areas.
Initial history
[edit]I created this account on August 8, 2011 with the intent to primarily edit articles related to the National Football League. There was one major problem. As a child, I was too young to be editing Wikipedia. I was blocked several times, the last instance being an indefinite block in February of 2012. At age 16, I made an unblock request on December 21, 2015, which was approved on December 25. I believe that I have now done a much better job of editing and promoting the encyclopedia. I made about 600 edits prior to the indefinite block, and do not count the time that I spent blocked as time that I was on Wikipedia. Also, if possible, please try to keep in mind my age when checking my block log.
Life and editing
[edit]My primary focus now is quite different. I routinely edit articles concerning other aspects of human history. Most of this has been on articles concerning the History of the United States from the Revolution until the end of the Civil War. As a member of the Catholic Church, I am interested in articles relating to Church events and history, primarily during the Middle Ages. I edit these less often than early U.S. history articles. I'm very much interested in the classic literature and the philosophy of the Western world, but I rarely edit in that area, as my main focus on Wikipedia has always been historical events. I also sometimes edit articles concerning modern U.S. politics.
I occasionally review featured article candidates and good article nominations. I became less active on Wikipedia in late 2019 but I'm still around.
