I've freely given many, many hours of my life to improving Wikipedia, and here's why I left:
Except for technical, completely uncontroversial articles, Wikipedia is dominated by people with apparently unlimited time on their hands to devote to pushing their point of view.
I got really tired of the endless arguments I needed to engage in to contribute new information or improve the wording of existing articles.
Some person or group of people with apparently unlimited time on their hands and who feel they "own" the article would inevitably come by and start reverting and endlessly arguing every little change.
I just don't have the infinite time on my hands (or interest, frankly) that it would require to out-argue these people. They can keep their articles. I've got better things to do with my time than argue with no-life Wikilawyers all day, every day.
