Hey Decade,

It's been a few months since I've last messaged you, however a few things have bothered me lately and I feel as though I should tell you how I feel.

My main problem is with your absence from the wiki since the beginning of the year. I take issue with the very small number of edits (42) you have made this year, as well as how there can be gaps upwards of a month in between. Notably you were gone for 58 days most recently, only returning to make two edits (I don’t take issue with these edits however, as it was information that I had neglected to mention).

Another issue I have is that many of the images that you have uploaded to the wiki are not from Initial D or any related media. Probably most notably, up until my overhaul of the AE86 page, it’s header image was taken straight from the Gran Turismo wiki. Many images from other racing games (WMMT, Real Racing 3, et al) are dotted around the wiki, despite them being irrelevant to the series (other than the fact they depict a car that appears in it). After overhauling many of the car pages, earlier this month I deleted over 400 low quality or unrelated images from this wiki, and I believe that a notable amount of them were uploaded by yourself. I don’t feel that your uploading of these images sets a very good example for other editors on the wiki.

I really want to see this wiki flourish, and I have been trying my hardest to make it as good as I can, but seeing you, effectively the owner or head admin of the wiki, not make many edits is very disheartening. I am saddened by the fact that, despite you technically being my leader, we have never spoken more than a few paragraphs to each other, all of those being through this talk page.

I would really like to see you editing more on this wiki, helping me and the rest of the editors make this wiki as good as it can be. However, if you can't commit, or are unwilling to commit, to editing more and helping improve this wiki, then I would please ask you to consider stepping down as Bureaucrat and pass on the role to someone else. I, for one, would be happy to step up to the role. I leave the decision up to you, and I do hope that I am able to hear from you soon.

Thanks,

Jack
