User:Not Sure

Active Wikipedian from December 2005 to December 2015. Based in New York, with main focus on cultural studies and generally weird stuff. Changed nickname to Not Sure in February 2013. Always willing to engage in friendly and interesting discussions; nonetheless, I'm still trying to assess whether the ideal of Wikipedia is a worthwhile project.

Retired user names: As Dr-Mabuse, I used to contribute to the German wikipedia and you would have occasionally found me in the Dutch version as well.

Snapshots
These are my moments of Notice or the times when Wikistress got the better of me and I had to discontinue my collaboration. Please regard this as my personal modified WP Stress Meter only.

Last entries as registered Wikipedian in early 2009 and as various IP addresses until mid-2010. Due to the lack of imagination of the Wikipedia community about the creative potential and the promises of what this new collaboration could entail I have ended my participation in this project. There has been too much focus on what Wikipedia is not and not enough on what it might become, so I regret to note that the free encyclopedia in its Wikipedia version is history for me now.
 * EDIT: I may want to ease up on the dogmatism a bit. Willing to give this work-in-progress project another try. After all, as the poet said, "vor uns liegen die Mühen der Ebenen." (2010)
 * EDIT: How embarrassing. This project is on hiatus again. (2015)


 * EDIT: I will discontinue my contributions to this project at the extended confirmed user access level. Over and out. (Recorded: August 2016)


 * EDIT: "Was geb ich auf mein Geschwätz von gestern." (2018)


 * EDIT: Active again on the German WP, given their focus on editorial improvements. (2019)
 * EDIT: After a longer pause, I'm back. (2020)

Jus' a little flurry over in the Metaland with email messages regarding single users. This account is already global, methinks.
