I don't click on links to Wikipedia anymore, and I'd never use it as a source for anything, since realizing that the content is moderated by narcissistic people with no qualifications, who's primary goal is deleting content as fast as possible, without any basis (the criteria is so subjective it can be used to delete literally anything). They typically do no research, and have no regard for the effort someone put into contributing, and literally compete over who can delete fastest. The Admins are like a flock of circling vultures seeking carrion, only they don't wait to see if something is really dead, they attack first. Maybe hyenas is a better metaphor, as they probably giggle while wiping out hours of work by editors trying to contribute, for free mind you, with a single click.

Since realizing how it works, not only would I never donate, I would like to see it go away. It's a detriment to the culture of the internet in my humble opinion. This is the result of allowing thoughtlessness to rule in a wild west fashion. You can't operate that way and be taken seriously.

The way Wikipedia works, with an ostensibly open editing policy, but a fascist regime in the background, makes absolutely no sense. It's inconsistent and arbitrary and completely dysfunctional.

There are countless examples of artists, academics and celebrities unable to correct information or their own historical record for lack of "secondary sources". Think about that for a second...

It's been years since I tried to participate. I think what is not being considered by the Wiki admins, or they just don't care about, is that every time they make a decision to wipe out someone's (free) contributed effort, without careful consideration or evaluation of the merits, they are potentially alienating someone, such as myself, to the point that they will have a very negative, even antagonistic attitude toward the site, for years, perhaps for the rest of their life.

Because of abusive admins, I actively dislike Wikipedia, and wish it would change or die. I'm not a self-promoting troll or anything of the sort. I'm a normal person who doesn't enjoy being shat upon by random anonymous control freaks, for trying to be helpful.

I think the tipping point for me was when Wikipedia started soliciting donations, implying it needed money or it might go away. I thought, yes! finally! Go away! Get out of my search results. Because every time I see the name Wikipedia, it annoys me on multiple levels.
