Dawud - "...the bottom line is that Wikipedia is not reliable, and cannot be made so."
Doc glasgow - "The truth is that wikipedia is a time-sucking drug. And that's fine, if you are having fun and/or you can still fool yourself with the Jimbofluff of making the world a better place."
Fonzy - "I prefered Wikipedia more when it was smaller and I felt part of a small community, now Wikipedia has got bigger (which is great) but I dont feel as useful, or as important, I just feel like part of a mob."
Giano - "At present Wikipedia, in my view, is a sad place, it's rulers are a non-intellectual mediocrity, more interested in, self promotion, and chatting in a chatroom than in global education, they have never comprehended the project's true goals, they embrace those who have no interest in those goals. In short, Wikipedia has become a foundling home for the intellectually inept. It is sad, but we cannot be a refuge, and chatroom, for all."
GK - "In this libertarian anarchy, any process is only as functional as it's most dysfunctional participant. What that means is that in too many areas the inmates are in charge of the asylum."

Katefan0 - "To Daniel Brandt, I'm not sure what I did to offend you, but I wish you'd at least tried to speak with me about whatever it is. So, I'm hanging up my hat, and I'm asking Daniel et al to please, sincerely, just leave me be."
Larry Sanger - "I hereby resign as editor-in-chief of Nupedia and I also hereby give up any position of authority I had with Wikipedia; assuming particularly that funding will not be able to be found for the position of Nupedia editor-in-chief (see below), I don't intend to work on either project any significant amount within the next few months, and very possibly ever."
LtWinters - "Be da sham. Dont let da sham be you."
Newyorkbrad - "Due to some external events, which have the potential to affect not just me but many uninvolved people, I will not be able to continue editing."
Publicgirluk - "...I am not going to perform like a circus lion for the benefit of a small few."
White Guard - "There is too much on Wikipedia which is both extreme and foolish."
Zoe - "Jimbo accused me of having a vendetta against Mr. Pierce. Such an attack is too much for me to endure. I have loved my time at Wikipedia, but I do not feel that I can continue here. Goodbye."
