It's surprising how many folks complain about "missing X" or "Y", instead of contributing to the actual article. It's Wikipedia, people!


With respect, after you.

I don’t really want to out my IP address by posting anonymously. I don’t really want to link a Wikipedia account to my HN account by having you correlate content. I don’t really want to put the effort into writing something only to have it reverted by some jumped up weirdo who guards “their” page.

Reading Wikipedia is great. Edition on the other hand is, for me, a byline for hyper dramatic pseudonymous social media. I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.


Also I can’t write. I meant “editing”, not “edition”.

If that’s not immediate disqualification for being a Wikipedia writer, what is?
