I don't think I can contribute positively at my age 84. I retire from further contributions in Wikipedia.--Nvvchar. 13:32, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ho, wait, hold on: retired?!? Why?!? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 12:16, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is it due to your eye problems Nvv? Did your doctor tell you that you can no longer look at a computer screen for a lengthy period? If so this is very sad and I will miss you greatly.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:04, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I find it hard to imagine a Wikipedia without you present. I, too, will miss you greatly. --Rosiestep (talk) 13:05, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Men do cry over certain things = this is one of them! --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:46, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nvvchar, I can't believe it! If at all possible, please continue editing on WP! You're one of the best! We need you here! Have you looked into technology that converts written material into audible material, such as a screen reader? We all hope you are doing well, both with your vision and in general. Best wishes,  – Corinne (talk) 14:28, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What a shock! You'll be missed forever :(( Good luck and thanks for all you've done Sainsf (talk · contribs) 07:57, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to hear that Nvv. All the best with everything. You have been a precious contributor to Wikipedia! -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:36, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! I just saw this when coming here to ask you a question. Am truly, truly sorry to see you gone. I do hope that this is not permanent, but understand that we must all make the choices in life that are in our best interests. Wishing you health and happiness.

I'm also very sorry to hear you've retired from Wikipedia. I've always appreciated your contributions and enthusiam. The encyclopaedia has benefitted tremendously from you efforts.--Ipigott (talk) 07:59, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh so sad! One big salute to you for your great great contribution to Wikipedia. You are inspiration for so many other editors. Thanks. I wish good and healthy life for you. Best Luck. --Human3015 ^TALK  18:04, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw this. Sorry if I'm late. You will be missed, Sir. Do take care of your eyes and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, which seems to be getting less brighter.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:07, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Am not very active on Wikipedia since the last few years. But ever since I started my journey here in 2004, you have been one of the most helpful and enthusiastic people I have met. All the best in whatever you are up to now, even if it's a gentle Ruskin Bond-esque retirement. With warmth and affection. VishalB (talk) 18:07, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Feeling sad. A big thank you for your vast contribution.--Nizil (talk) 14:10, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Shivaharkaray, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shivaharkaray until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion.

WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older has been inactive for some time. The following three proposals may help invigorate this project.

1. Change the name of this project to WikiProject Senior Wikipedians.^[a]
2. Open membership in this project to users who are at least 60 years of age and have made at least 50 edits in the past year.^[b]
3. Open supporting membership in this project to users who are less than 60 years old but have made at least 50 edits in the past year and support the goals of this project.^[c]

Suggested goals for this project:

1. To support collaboration and communication among members for the advancement and improvement of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.
2. To encourage older people, retired people, and soon-to-be-retired people to participate in Wikipedia both for the advancement of the encyclopedia and for their own personal enjoyment.
3. To encourage older people to share their experience and expertise for the improvement of Wikipedia.
4. To encourage older users to use their experience and expertise to help younger and less experienced users.
5. To encourage participation in local and regional Wikimedia events.
6. To sponsor Wikipedia meetings and classes at places where older people gather.
7. To advocate for the elimination of ageism and sexism in Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.

Please add your suggestions for this project at Senior Wikipedians. Thank you,  Buaidh  talk e-mail 01:15, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't wish to receive any further information about Senior Wikipedians, please remove your username from our notice list. Thanks.

My proposal to make extensive changes to WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older was a bust, primarily because many users felt that the term "Senior Wikipedian" implied a higher ranking Wikipedia membership. Therefore, I am making two less ambitious proposals:

Proposal #1. Change the name of "WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older" to "WikiProject Elder Wikipedians".

Proposal #2. Drop the minimum age requirement to 60 years.

Please respond to Elder Wikipedians and let us know what you think of each of these proposals.
Thank you,  Buaidh  talk e-mail

If you don't wish to receive any further information about Elder Wikipedians, please remove your username from our notice list. Thanks.
