It isn't a failure at this moment, but as he rightly points out, it will gradually start failing in the years to come, unless something changes.
I like producing overviews of subjects of explanations, but I get the most satisfaction out of knowing it's worthwhile to others. If my contribution can be distorted and vandalized at will, without me possibly being able to revert all the changes, I'm just not interested in investing the time.
I gladly engage in debate about facts and more subjective things like writing and educational styles, but only with reasonable people. If I'm editing the article on some specific part of Quantum Mechanics and have to deal with pseudoscience believers that keep putting in nonsense, I'm not interested either. They can of course have their own page.
I doubt I'm the only one with these thoughts. Just like Athens can't currently stand against the vandals, neither can Wikipedia.
- kamjam 15y agoWhile I agree about the vandalism, I really don't like this "don't bother" attitude. If it's broke, then fix it.
- Confusion 15y agoThe author and many other have proposed various ways to fix it. So far none have been pursued.
- kamjam 15y ago"A camel is a horse designed by committee" Well that's the problem with committees, unless you are all reading off the same sheet, the music ain't going to sound so sweet. Regardless, the answer is not "don't bother", the answer is still to sort out the fundamental root cause of the issue. It is the same truth for everything else in life.
