A bit of a mixed bag, and overly long. Could benefit from some distillation and less back patting.
Given point 3, they seem to spend an inordinate amount of time complaining about vandalism, even going so far as to call out sockpuppets and anonymous IPs as a special type of "despicable cowardice" when they are basically the internet equivalent of wearing a hoodie while you spray paint a tag. Don't call out this behavior as particularly egregious, it is just ordinary vandalism and doesn't deserve special outrage.
Also, point 21: "There are no fools more troublesome than those with wit," should I find this ironic? That's the mixed bag bit. What is this doing in there? It is hardly an observation on wikipedia behavior but is obviously the author trying to feel superior to clever people they disagreed with. Then again, I'm probably guilty of point 31 and seeing my own arrogance.
It started getting samey and I stopped reading further.
- dangerface 7y ago> it is just ordinary vandalism It's not even that bad ordinary vandalism is a lot harder to revert. They should just fix the UI and let the end user pick the version like most api documentation. If op wrote an autobiography it would be 31, to be fair I could do the same.
