 * FOR A LARGE NUMBER OF USERS WIKIPEDIA IS JUST A FUN?


 * An example: Great minds


 * Probably, I wasted 1000s of hours here... though I am not sure. --Bhadani (talk) 16:08, 2 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is a strange place: In some instances it looks really like kids' playground. A page is moved/merged and other one continues because probably the editor creating the page that continues is not 'famous" (only 3 edits since 14-07-2009) here is not being witch-hunted like Bhadani.

And, such instances abound which results into abandoning active contributions to Wikipedia by me, as also by a number of editors.
 * Harmu Housing Colony
 * Daudpur Kothi
 * Gauripur supaul - this page is about a Tola of a village. Tola is a word used in Bihar state, India and it means "a cluster of household". Thus, Wikipedia has independent representation of such a small place without any notability whereas bigger places with notability and good population may have been made "re-directs". The same story is repeated in articles of greater significance.

Stealing of articles: Sometimes, articles are stolen by deleting articles and re-creating the same. I have noticed this and if I encounter some examples, I shall note here. All this happens in the name of good faith and consensus.
 * In this instance, someone conveniently removed earlier contents and replaced it with another but left the categories unchanged: instead of properly dealing with names of the articles, he chose the easier method, may be in good faith.
