I'm outta here edit
I have had many frustrations with Wikipedia but what finally told me it was time to leave was the "discussion" over including mentions of the homeopathic usage of plants in various articles, e.g.,here, here, and here. I have further summarized my thoughts here.
When editors with botanical expertise are not permitted to add neutral and factually correct botanical information from the botanical literature to Wikipedia's botanical articles, and editors whose sole interest in those same botanical articles appears to be censorship prevail, then something is seriously wrong. There are far, far too many editors whose interest in Wikipedia is not presenting factual information, but rather managing that information to validate their own POV.

- Yes. And the botanical editors are really the targets these days.
- Mr. Darwin, I've missed you. How can you leave, when I just got back? But, of course, I understand your frustration at having to contend with the utterly ridiculous in order to edit articles. --KP Botany (talk) 04:27, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
