[edit] The Most Interesting Day

Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Requiescant en pace, amen.
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Requiescant en pace, amen.

Thursday, the 27th of December, 2007. The day that former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated. For seven whole hours, I was caught up in the rush of article creation, maintenance and editing. For seven of the most informative, interesting hours of this editor's entire history on the english Wikipedia, I got a real sense of the dynamics of article contribution, and just what it means to have edits coming in from several different locations, perspectives and motivations. To coin a song title, all gave some, some gave all. I would like to give a very emphatic "ko-map-sum-nida" (thank you!) to Terraxos, Ashdog137, Richardkselby, Doniphan, Henrik, Kingturtle, Boxter1977, Superm401, ExRat, Ground Zero, and all the editors and admins that made this series of articles a much better read in the end. Working with you all today was the best seven hours of this Wikipedian's time here. Edit Centric (talk) 03:18, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You RAWK

The Barnstar of Peace
Regardless of how it turns out in the end, the efforts you have put forth to mediate the conflict over at Talk:Accelerate (R.E.M. album) go above and beyond the call of duty. I salute you sir! Jayron32.talk.contribs 21:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

None, scaled back Wikiwork a while for IRL events.

[edit] NOTICES

Well folks, I have found my niche here in the Wiki community. I will be taking an extended Wiki-break from USRD and CASH, and redirecting my efforts towards dispute mediation. It's sort of like marriage counseling, again something I'm good at. So it is with a degree of sadness that I say farewell and success to the USRD Wikiproject, I hope and pray that the current RFAR comes to a productive and acceptable conclusion for all concerned...
