Wikiquote:Requests for removal/Jeffq as checkuser

as checkuser
As I've mentioned elsewhere, I will be resigning my checkuser status, pending the completion of one last CU matter, but effective no later than 0:00, 1 September 2008 (UTC) regardless of that matter's outcome. I feel I can no longer devote the time I feel compelled to allocate to this critical responsibility while I hold it, and I don't see that changing in the foreseeable future.

Since there's really not a process for voluntary resignation (other than to request a rights change at Steward requests/Permissions, which I'll do immediately following the earlier of the two above events), this is just a notification of intent for my fellow Wikiquotians. But I would again encourage the WQ community to nominate one more candidate for CU to bring us up to four again after my departure. I truly believe that we will need one more active CU, focused especially on English Wikiquote matters, in addition to CUs Aphaia, Cato, and Jusjih. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:50, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to see you go, I've enjoyed working with you on cross wiki matters. Best. ++Lar: t/c 21:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Me too; I'll miss you and your lengthy but well-described writing! You've been always a nice colleague. I'm honored to work with you. Hopefully we will be able to work on home affair still for long. Best, --Aphaia 17:08, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course, yes, I always value your interactions with me.-- Poetlister 19:11, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you all for your kind words. I enjoyed being able to help Wikiquote, Wikiquotians, and Wikimedians in general on this, and regret having to stop this work in order to focus on real-world matters. drini has now de-checkuser'd me at my request, but I'll continue to help as an editor and sysop where and when I can. I hope that I will eventually be able to resume more substantive work somewhere down the road. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:04, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
