The term BOGOFF is used to convey a personal definition for disengaging myself with editing specific content on Wikipedia for a verity of different reasons. BOGOFF is coined from a British euphemism which means to "fuck-off" or promptly disengage.[1] I do not use the term when referring to disengaging from a hostile or conflicting discussion and use Wikipedia:DISENGAGE for this purpose.

There are several reasons which may result in me using this term in a discussion, those are:

  • A discussion has become overly reliant on my contributions which could surmount to it becoming bias.[2]
  • I have realized that other editors could provide more valuable content than myself to an article or discussion.[3]
  • That I do not have the value of experience or knowledge related to a specific discussion or article.
  • The conversation has become dogmatic or nonobjective.[4]
  • There is an uncredible or inherently bias component to the discussion which is not resolved by eluding to facts.[5]
  • The value of the further contribution to specific content does not outweigh the value of abstaining from the content.
  • I no longer have an interest in a discussion or article.
  • A combination of one or more factors listed above.

Once I have decided to BOGOFF the likeliness of me further engaging with any form of editing to a relevant discussion or article becomes almost nil.
