Not sure how GP is sarcasm. People use the Wikipedia rules all the time to suppress newcomers and keep them, get them sanctioned, and keep them from becoming better editors.
The idea of Wikipedia is to allow anyone to write articles. But in practice a newcomer has to have a lot of grit to keep content on the site because of the social structures that effectively make certain topics off-limits to newcomers. I like Wikipedia a lot but I have better things to do with my life than go to ArbCom when someone is effectively claiming ownership of a page.
