2777:. After a few days to check it doesn't make anything explode or die, we'll be sticking up a big notice and sending out an additional newsletter inviting people to test it out and give us feedback :). This will be followed by two office hours sessions - one on Tuesday the 14th of August at 19:00 UTC for all us Europeans, and one on Wednesday the 15th at 23:00 UTC for the East Coasters out there :). As always, these will be held in #wikimedia-office; drop me a note if you want to know how to easily get on IRC, or if you aren't able to attend but would like the logs. 2037:

contributor and asset like you leaves Knowledge (XXG) for whatever reason it sure does have an effect on the project. Everyone, even the most experienced users do make many mistakes at one time or the other, please don't take that to your heart! We are all humans and no one is perfect. In the end it's your choice as we are all volunteers here, but i really wish that you come back as soon as possible :). I know you are very busy regarding your work Bmusician, but i'm sure you can take out time to edit Knowledge (XXG). Best Regards.

2021:...instead of retiring. A break can be long or short - retirement is too final. You made a mistake that you would never make again. Some mistakes, like sky diving without a parachute, are fatal. This wasn't. It didn't damage the project as such, but you departing won't help it. If you do get busy offline, just pop in when you can. None of us are that vital that everything will collapse if an individual goes, but the more of us there are with white hats, the less chance the black hats have of wrecking the place. 1694:

outside not less then it. You always advised the right thing and helped me in my bad times. I just can't imagine what I would be doing on wiki if you weren't there to help whenever I needed either it was on wiki or off wiki. You are an valuable asset to the community. Problems in life, shifting places, conflicts, etc can disturb anyone. Just give your decision a second thought before completely giving up. And if this is final, I hope that you'll return soon. All the best sir :)

from those mistakes is what makes you the person you are today. You do a lot of excellent work here, and we need people like you who are willing to help out. I'm hoping this retirement won't be a permenant thing. My email is open to you, if there's anything I can do to help out. For now, enjoy your life away from Knowledge (XXG), I'll take care of your adoptees until you get back.

We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up 3206:

Hey Bmusician. This will be, if not our final newsletter, one of the final ones :). After months of churning away at this project, our final version (apart from a few tweaks and bugfixes) is now live. Changes between this and the last release include deletion tag logging, a centralised log, and fixes

What I believe is you are retiring for a busy schedule ahead (and other personal reasons), and I respect that. But I would be very happy if you hang on and make few edits whenever you can spare some moments. hope you give another thought to your decision. Take a wikibreak as long as you deem fit and

3658:

Oh my!! I knew there was something that went wrong with you since you didn't reply to 4 of my emails. I also asked our common friend to inquire about you but he said he wasn't in touch with you and you weren't replying him either. I was worried about you after all this. Bmusician, I'm really so glad

3492:

I hope I can help newcomers again, but I'm afraid I don't have any energy to even relist any AFD debates. I'm currently throwing up for some reason...jet lag? I hope I can still help make Knowledge (XXG) a better place. I don't know why, but I forgot the password to my email account, I'll try again

On September 24 - the day after my birthday, I was involved in a car collision in Wuhan, China that made me lose consciousness. Both of my arms and my left leg were broken. I lost my iPhone 4 in the crash but got a new 5 as a present. I only regained consciousness a month later, and my broken bones

I know you have previously "retired" but I hope you won't let the issue with Worm get to you personally. If you happen to consider returning, you will be welcome. We editors must keep to mind that issues here at Knowledge (XXG) shouldn't affect us and the bottom line is we are here to help build an

2421:

Wow....I left for a week, and come back to see you gone. I won't say that you did nothing--you obviously understand the gravity of what you did--but that was not a fatal edit in my mind. I can only repeat what Worm says above; everyone makes mistakes, and I hope you can come back to us when you are

2401:

Bmusican, it is a real shame you have decided to retire. You always were a good rolemodel and someone I looked up to. I myself didn't feel too welcome here on WP a few months ago, but after I took a Wikibreak I feel much better! I won't influence your disicion as it seems it has already been made,

1693:

Hi! I was really shocked to see your message so thought of saying few words. I can see that you will not be active anymore on wiki but still I'd love if you change your mind. Though it is up to you at the end, this place won't be that good without you. You have been my best friend on wiki and even

2328:

Hey Bmusician. Now I've got a few moments, I thought I'd sit down and drop you a note. I won't go into the gravedancing mess, there's no need for further discussion of it. What I will say is that it's nothing to retire over. We all make mistakes, do things which we later go on to regret. Learning

2036:

I agree with you Peridon. See Bmusician you are a great editor, mentor and friend! I had just started to collaborate with you and i am shocked to see you retire like this. I was hoping we all will go a long way in contributing to the project and make it better day by day. Whenever every valuable

on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular

3344:

Certainly you are not. You might be aware of my affection towards Green Day...I got to this song and since it was piano based, one of the best songs by the band, I thought of telling you. Its a wonderful song Bmusician and you'll probably like it too. Hope everything is alright with real life!

2518: 1579:

Quite a number of the Special:PrefixIndex/User:Bmusician/ pages seem to have substantial contributions from other editors (for example, BMusician's former adoptees). This might make them ineligible for speedy deletion by user request, unless the other contributing parties agree.

263:

Hello sir! I was just wondering if you can create 1 more course about user rights on wikipedia; rollbacker, filmover, ap, ac, etc. Also some details about RfA and RfB, checkusers and oversighters, admins and crates, ArbCom etc. This is just an suggestion, Cheers!

3581:

glad you weren't killed. I am also glad you are back! It might take a while to get back to the Knowledge (XXG) routine, but take things step by step and I'm sure you will suffice! If you need anything or want to talk about anything, I'm a talk page/email away!

And I also undented it, for it to be re-indented by Worm. Yes, please copyedit so you won't be undone again--and please explain how your "oppose" is not really, apparently, an "oppose" but an "!oppose" (the meaning of which I'm not exactly sure of). Thanks,

3317: 3424:

I cannot teach music anymore because of this, so that means that if I come back here, I'll have loads of time to make Knowledge (XXG) a better place. I just came back to the US and am fine now. I also have not checked my email or anything else yet.

We're (very shortly) closing down this development cycle for Page Curation. It's genuinely been a pleasure to talk with you all and build software that is so close to my own heart, and also so effective. The current backlog is 9 days, and I've

1129:

Since it happened a second time, I've struck it myself, I hope that's alright. Just to note you stated that the vote was "intended" not "indented", an unfortunate spoonerism! If I've got it wrong, feel free to trout me :)

2156:

A break is a good thing once in awhile, and it might give you time to mentally reset and do a few things differently when you return. I hope you come back. I enjoyed playing chess with you and I'd like to do so again.

Welcome back, Bmusician - let me add my voice to those offering you their condolences and best wishes for a speedy recovery. I'd be happy to undelete your userpages for you; I'll get started now.

If you get a new assignment, consider that your answers were right. And you can ask for the test either on BM's talk page or on the adoption page under the heading "discussion". Thank you.

3831: 1528: 670:

Could you tell me why the same effect does not appear in the edit window for my userpage? Or does it have to be protected? Also, do you know why my archives are no longer showing? Sorry.--

1799:

I cant believe you are retiring just because of an admins comment. I know you are a good soul and would never have repeated it anyway as you were aware your comment was not appreciated.

1431: 1014: 904:

I'm ready for my next test! Also I can't seem to find the feedback for the answers to the first one. Also am I supposed to ask you for a new test on your talk page or somewhere else?--

531: 519: 1407: 234:. In a nutshell: articles should be A10'ed when it duplicates an existing Knowledge (XXG) topic, and if its title could also be speedy deleted if it were to be a redirect. Best, → 2894: 2882: 963:

If it helps, those adoption pages can be moved to User:Worm That Turned/Adopt. This appears to be in part my fault and so I should help clear up the mess.

1492: 1104:, but I was wondering if you'd consider striking (at least the word Oppose) to make things clearer. At least one editor has tried to un-indent it. Cheers! 1075: 3391: 1023:
