Goodbye, Wikipedia!

In case anybody wonders, I wanted to leave a note explaining why I left Wikipedia. First, I want to make clear that I didn't get mad or feel mistreated in any way. To the contrary, my experience with other editors has always been positive. I think Wikipedia is a great idea, and I tried to make some positive contributions with a few articles. Wikipedia has already achieved critical mass, and I this its success is assured. Although the Wikipedia community is great, I am the type of person who needs more structure in my activities. The total freedom to edit is a Wikipedia strength, but is not for me personnally.

I wish Wikipedia every success and look forward to seeing the one million article milestone soon.

I am becoming increasingly concerned about the excessive control over certain articles/pages/processes by some users. I am also concerned about the failure to effectively control disruptive behavior.
