1. Why do most wikipedians fight so hard with the editors that do only a few edits, or that are not even registered? The statistics clearly show that hardcore wikipedians create articles, but most of the content comes from other people; often content of very high quality. Every time I make an edit to wikipedia in some bigger article, the edit is reverted. And no, it does not mean that my edits are of poor quality or controversial; after long discussions, those edits land there. But instead of going to improve some other article, I have to "guard" my previous input for a week or so and "have discussions" with long term wikipedians, who seem to believe that the fact that they did 1000 edits means that they are entitled to something (and those edits are often adding a comma somewhere, or fixing a link -> of course I dont claim that such edits are not needed).

2. Does the fundation even bother checking up what do other wikipedias do? I created an article on local wikipedia, that was deleted 3 times, before multiple discussions with admins, where they tried to waste as much of my time possible -> after all this spam, I wrote that I can contact the wikipedia foundation: one of the local admins resigned. I wonder if they even bothered to inform you, probably not (the whole thing happened around 2 years ago, I stopped editing the local wiki that time; the article is still there by the way).

3. Why is there so much deletionism? And what do you think about it?

edit: woohoo, my 3rd reddit gold - thank you, I would like to greet my friend Tom and wish you all a happy new year!

Batman and Hobbes?

Well, technically one could create an airline for "cool, beautiful people" and if you could not fly with it - you would be a "fatass". I can imagine (shallow) people selecting this line just to say that they flew with "slim-airlines".

How do you know that the novel is not simply bad? Maybe those agents were right, after all you use comic sans...

I donate to wikipedia every year, despite its problems; it is the "general source of human knowledge". If aliens existed, we should hide it from them
