wikiHow:Former or Inactive Administrators
<- Back to the list of active administrators.
As in all communities, wikiHow members have lives. And life has a way of calling us away to see to important matters. These particular admins have moved on for the moment. Those of us who remain with wikiHow thank them for their involvement in the community and their contributions. We hope that they will continue to derive satisfaction from what they helped achieve here and joy from the pleasure that comes with knowing they have helped thousands of people. Most importantly, we hope to see them back at wikiHow, when they can find the time to contribute again.

Author Summary: I stumbled upon Wiki quite by accident when I added it to my Google homepage and I've been addicted ever since I wrote my first article. I love that I can find out about all sorts of interesting topics and that things I thought I knew little about I can still add onto without feeling like I've destroyed a piece. Further than that, because there are so many competent author/editors on wikiHow, I've noticed my confidence in submitting works to the public has increased ten-fold because I know that even if I botch it, someone out there will fix it. :) |

I love the idea that everyone can contribute from their personal areas of expertise and there's no obligation to do anything more than you feel; it keeps a project this big from being too overwhelming. |
