I stopped contributing money, and then stopped trusting and using Wikipedia after I saw how wrong they are on a subject I am well-informed on personally (ARM architecture), and how fast they revert properly-cited 100% factually correct changes (literally citing the arm architecture manual).

How could I trust them on things I do not know, if I know for a fact they are unrepentantly wrong about things I do know?



In my experience it's always better to only leave comments on the talk page and at most add template comments to the article, for a couple weeks; after that time passed you can go ahead with editing the page, and there's a better chance of the edits not getting reverted.

But I've always hated the way Wikipedia works.


I refuse to pay for the privilege of doing free work for someone else’s benefit. Pay — in time or in effort. Let it rot.
