From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm Bilorv and I edited Wikipedia from December 2013 to June 2024.
I've had one foot in and one foot out for a while, overcommitted to projects, and some big news means that (effective tomorrow) I won't have free time to do things properly here. I may intermittently be able to read this page or my Wikipedia emails.
I'm proud of the small part I've played in this encyclopedia. I've been thinking a lot lately about legacy and just looking at URFA/2020 shows you that when things are not actively maintained, they will be conquered by time. No thing beside remains. Round the decay / Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare / The lone and level sands stretch far away.
I'm sad this will happen to what I've written but hopefully some of it has already been useful to some people. If you are one of those people maybe you would consider looking after something I worked on with a very small bus factor:
Good article nominations currently require nominators to be "significant contributors" but sometimes this is waived if a significant contributor is consulted (see here)—this is me giving blanket permission for any articles where I am one.
Yours faithfully, (as one editor once called me) a "far-left extremist, mentally-ill tranny freak". — Bilorv (talk) 18:15, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
The article Apocalypse Clown you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Apocalypse Clown for reasons why Talk:Apocalypse Clown/GA1the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Kusma -- Kusma (talk) 09:02, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for mentoring me!
Recently I've added some links to implementations of quantum algorithms in several pages, in the 'external links' section. Someone ('Fawli') has removed most of my edits. Here is my discussion with him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Fawly#c-Fawly-20240630185600-Orsgaba-20240630084800
All links are valuable in my opinion, they are to an open-source software with full implementations of the algorithms, which is a content that was not existing in the page itself.
do you think it was indeed a problem to add them? or is it arguable?
thanks a lot in advance! --Orsgaba (talk) 10:17, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey, can I use an article about a company as a source even if it's written like an ad? --BadEditor92 (talk) 08:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
