My recent experience

I was previously miffed at the speedy or slow deletion for no justified reason of much of my work. However, when I saw that Jimbo Wales user page (the founder of Wikipedia) had been nominated for speedy deletion I was incredulous, and so I am taking things less personally now. It's going to be a tough problem to solve, but worth it.

History Link here, unbelievable: Jimbo speedy deletion

A lot of the user talk pages I have visited have a finality to them, with editors retiring from Wikipedia. All with a shared common experience. I saw a great comment from w:A C Grayling on the development of knowledge gathering - "At times sceptical challenge has been seen as a serious threat to the project of attaining knowledge."^[ref1] He was talking about progress in the middle-ages. It appears Wikipedia finds itself maturing through its own dark ages.

One thing is certain. Something must be done
