~~My activity on Wikipedia has dropped to near zero, meaning that I'm pretty much on a permanent Wikibreak.~~ --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I have tentatively returned - but not at previous activity levels. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Temperament note: I am pretty much in agreement with folks who say that the Wikipedia community is a toxic environment. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 15:22, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

This user is a member of the Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgements About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are In Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They are Deletionist

The motto of the AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD is Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet, which translates to "it is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia." This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
