Our great library

I used to be actively involved in Wikipedia and maintained an administrator account in the idle thought that I might one day return. However, a recent email prompted me to act in prudence.

Dear BradBeattie,

We notice you haven’t edited Wikipedia for some time. Perhaps you grew disillusioned with the project after seeing the corruption and bureaucracy at every level? If so, why not help us to help you. We are currently expanding our portfolio of administrator accounts, and as yours remains dormant perhaps you could consider donating it to us – to do so will take you only two minutes: change the password (if desired) and then reply to this email with your login details. We’ll do the rest!

Thank you for your time and consideration, and naturally do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Kind Regards,

The Wikipedia Freedom Fighters

I don’t see how providing covert access to an administrator account reduces claimed corruption. Sure, there are legitimate concerns, but it’s still a monumental accomplishment and a pleasure to participate in. That being said, my priorities are elsewhere and have been for some time. Best to reduce vectors of attack, yeah?
