I have been editing Wikipedia for more than 5 years now. I usually get little push back for the edits I add. I try to keep every sentence cited and use my best judgement with the POV of sources. The worst experience I've had was people deleting content that they viewed through an ethnic chauvinist lens, or someone who strongly believed a statement with little documented evidence (both on the same article.) I keep seeing this viewpoint on HN, but I really thing editing is pretty smooth for most people. There are problems - the visual editor is only visible to those logged in, for example, and there are a good number of rules. But, in general, being bold has been rewarding.
