 | PKtm is taking a wikibreak of indeterminate duration, due to general dissatisfaction with Wikipedia culture as experienced in the recent naming conventions dispute that took place starting in November 2006. This dissatisfaction is best explained here. My resulting decline in WP participation is perhaps best shown pictorially, via the following graph of my edit history:

UPDATE: I read something horrible today [1], something not directly related to Wikipedia but which reminded me of why I have withdrawn from participation here. Internet cultures are frail things, easily ruined by anonymous jerks combined with no pattern of concerted community outrage at their misbehavior. That is what I've seen here at Wikipedia, with the lack of intervention (or misintervention) by admins, arbitrators, etc., following clear and continuing misbehavior during the above-mentioned dispute. But it's a general situation: see, for a very tiny example, this edit [2].
So, Wikipedia has lost me as an active editor.
