The parent response exhibits, politely, typical problems I've experienced with Wikipedia editing. It debates details, policies (with citations), customs, but does not address the actual problem (in this case, the hassles of contributing) or help advance the core mission, which is the content.
My experiences are similar to the GP, and often the responses aren't nearly as polite as the parent. It's just not worth the time to contribute.
- lobotryas 10y agoYou are absolutely right and I'm surprised more people are not calling that person out for what you describe. The person even notes that the article was nominated for speedy deletion __seven minutes__ after it was created. That is insane! Very much reminds me of the time Around 2008 when Jimmy Wales' article about an SA restaurant was deleted for similar reasons[1]. Looks like for all its discussion the Wiki community has learned nothing. 1 - https://www.quora.com/Has-any-article-created-by-Jimmy-Wales-on-Wikipedia-ever-been-deleted-or-been-nominated-for-deletion https://www.quora.com/Has-any-article-created-by-Jimmy-Wales...
