I'm retiring now from Wikipedia after 20 years from 2005. The time has not been wasted, especially in my own education. This is a sort of picture of the academic world without the controls of the big organizations, the universities, the publishing houses, the foundations, the privatrprivate organizations. I understand now why they are there, which I never did before.
 
At this point Wikipedia is dominated by edit warring, which it has no real means of controling. Edit warring runs up the time you have to spend to gat a useful result. There is a good range of articles but they are all stubs or starting articles. If you try to get them beyond that you encounter the article czars. These collaborators operate under the banner of "consensus." They are quite shameless. They tell any lie to interfere in your development of the article. Many have obvious ulterior motives. The dictum of "good faith" allows them to quash any resistance.
