Is this because Wikipedia is "done"?
I recall seeing that the rate of articles created has flattened out, so current activity is more editing of existing articles than it used to be.
I am mostly a Wikipedia reader (although I have created articles before and done minor edits). From my perspective it's just great and I don't notice any of the angst or frivolity that goes into its curation.
I don't have extremely high expectations. It's a fantastic starting point to learn about almost anything. I suspect some of the arguments are basically "in the noise" for a user like me. That is, the way I use Wikipedia, the outcome of the argument wouldn't really make a difference.
- tokenadult 12y agoWikipedia is very far from done in updating articles about psychology[1] or genetics.[2] Most articles on Wikipedia on most topics still need a great deal of work. Even by Wikipedia's own meager standards, few articles have reached "good article" or "featured article" levels of quality.
