Today, I decided to indefinitely shut down regular maintences of this wiki, the constant updates of articles, and, also indefinitely, make this wiki read-only. I understand that this is the difficult decision as I'm still struggling of maintaining safety with everyday living in China, but the situation I have concluded successfully justified a move. Short time period being with Miraheze, but with deep love to people who has made it into reality, and the people who has gave it a seamless transition because of the former UK organization's collapse.

I still remembering my first impression of Miraheze. It came into my eyes as a service that provides wiki hosting, with a powerful management system which still exists as a wiki. Navigating across different wikis, I sought to host one on this incredible platform as I was imagining some like-minded people working on making up a system that generates wikis in honouring of MediaWiki's design, which finally constituted this platform. ManageWiki, the wiki management interface, honours the design of MediaWiki which warmed my soul as a genius worker standing with common values of computer science and working hard in its own way; other great works delivered by Miraheze including the systems which handles wiki requests and custom domain requests, has advanced MediaWiki into a new level as withstanding the values of open source software -- they opened up new opportunities, highlighted importance of IT system collaboration, and most importantly, allowed more people to participate in this big family where personal talents could make curical improvements to making computer science a more brighter future.

Maintaining quality of services I have acquired is like taking care of presents, although they're prepared to a stranger, by a stranger. I take care of every bit of gifts seriously, because disrespecting love and hopes of people who prepared the gifts to me, that may be concerned, is exteremy rude and expresses excessive degrees of personal quality, uneducated and uncivilized. As I have experiences on giving love to my beloved, I have completely understood the importance of meaningful characters gifts give as presents handpicked by someone else. A small give of a person may make a strong approach with respectfulness and pure hope.

An alarm raised yesterday, as like someone knocking on my bell prepared for my informs, gave me clear signal that the service is coming to another terminal. It originates with a sudden halt of my wiki domain -- without prior notice sent by email or on my Discord that is known to the management, and as confirmed, without any attempts of informs on the service change. While I was supposing another possible service maintenance, someone notified me that my domain has problems without clear explanation. Judging from his words, he even refuses to acknowledge mistakes he has made, or to amend the mistakes this has caused. He did not denying any changes which could stop the service that has already provided, but was insisting on encouraging a move on my side. I cannot be absolutely sure, but is extensively suspect, that he denied to correct the mistake as well as to acknowledge his lack of professionalism on the course which caused my wiki to functioning abnormally. Now the original people have left, and another group has came, but my service was stopped.

As being in an Internet community which is deeply globalized, having any tiny decision may make strong effects. Honestly I was considering whether to accept the advice by that person, but I later concluded that this is not constructive to building a healthy Internet, but may providing bad manners to others who may copy. Simply giving allowance to these kinds of behaviour would only make the Internet less attractive.

In consideration of my internal policies, as well as the potential effects as I respond to this incident, I've reached a decision to indefinitely make this wiki read-only. As previously tells, the contents will be made available, but any further changes will be blocked. I will start the job after saving a final revision of this article to this page.

In the meantime, I will find another service provider that gives better compliance of all the internal and Internet's policies. As uncertainty continues to dominate in this challenging world on many subjects, giving certainty as needed, is essentically important. I pledge to continue my commitment in solving problems that exist in this world which includes the Internet community, and I hope that with the efforts for good, kindness and progressing, problems that shouldn't exist will be eliminated and better advantages will be developed in the future.

Please stay tuned with me!
