Wikipedia:WikiProject Quality Article Improvement/missed users

Letting go of the Past
poem by Poeticbent

This is a list of missed users, editors who were active and are missed by members of Project Quality Article Improvement. A second section lists editors who were missed but returned, - a reason for joy and hope.

History

A list of missed editors was started as a user page of Ched who said:

A recent discussion here is what is prompting the creation of this page. So - be it a "category", a "project", or a "page" - I'm starting this page. If there is a user you would like to see return to editing our project, please feel free to add their name/section. I'd prefer this to be positive, so if there's an editor you object to, please just don't add your name to that section rather than starting an "oppose". Thanks. — Ched : ? 15:38, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

QAI

What started as a private concern is now part of Quality Articles Improvement because quality editors write quality articles, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:08, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
