Erik,
It's been an incredible honor to work with you as a colleague and a
volunteer. Thank you for the stats and all the conversations about
categories, topics, languages, ..., but even more so for showing me
the path and the purpose, time after time. I will dearly miss you in

Hi Erik,
Thank you for your work!
When I first came across Wikistats, it completely blew my mind. Such a
huge collection of raw data turned into digestible information. It's
amazing, stunning, and above all: enlightening.
I've spent countless hours digging through Wikistats in awe.
But besides
Erik:
From the early days until now, your quiet leadership and excellence have been a
great credit to the organization and most importantly, your leadership by
example has been an inspiration to untold numbers of people. But, actually,
it’s not untold numbers because of your work! You tell it
I have always enjoyed Erik's insightful input - especially the insights
that people don't like to hear at first. I trust that much more of that is
to come in the future, so I'm not ready to say farewells :). I wouldn't be
able to accurately summarize it anyway.
Erik, I hope that you'll find a lot
Thanks for your work, Erik. I hope that we will see you in the future.
This is the first time that I can recall hearing about a person retiring
from WMF. Volunteer retirements and semi-retirements happen regularly, and
the reasons that I hear for those retirements are often sad. It's nice to
hear
