This user is no longer active on Wikipedia.

This is my last edit (at least in the medium-term) on the English Wikipedia. It is an extremely sad thing for me to do, but unfortunately real-life concerns have left me very little time to contribute constructively here as an editor, and I would rather not be here than remain active in name only while practically doing very little. While I understand that I leave behind unfinished work, some of which I bitterly regret not being able to complete, the time has really come to move on, and I think that I have managed to do a decent job over the three and a half years that I have been here. Of particular satisfaction are the articles at the top of this page that I've managed to get to FA or GA status (or save from delisting) as well as those that I've reviewed at GAN. I also appreciate the acknowledgement, assistance and support that I've received from many friendly co-editors, some of whom have been generous enough to give me the awards below. Thank you all, it was great being here, and I will miss you and the experience of active editing (which I really enjoyed while being at it). I may not return at all, or at least for some time, and I leave in the hope that there will be others to carry on, especially with the India Wikiproject and associated activities. I will continue to remain active on the Wikimedia Commons and Wikimedia India outreach projects, and can be contacted by email (use the link on the left side of the page). For here and now, though, en.wiki, adios! Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 19:02, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
