There are a lot of updates needed on cities and towns in wikivoyage.org. Some pages have not been updated there in years. Travelmite (talk) 11:58, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
COI edit
A primary concern with Wikipedia is how editors with a Conflict of Interest, use this platform to serve the agenda's of their organisations and clients - a few of them with malicious intent, but the majority not understanding the problem this causes for reputable organisations (most companies don't hire graffiti artists). This would be a serious problem under normal circumstances, however Wikipedia has decided that even discussing or trying to do something about enforcing this important rule, will lead to blocking. Not just minor blocks, but permanent blocks against experienced editors. The reason which is fabricated for this block is that to discuss a particular case has the potential to impinge on the privacy of the person - even if it has not happened yet. So the net effect of the Conflict of Interest policy (a) is the expulsion of independent editors who work hard to protect Wikipedia and (b) poor quality articles about otherwise reputable organisations (c) the potential to entrap real world victims in into malicious schemes. The consequences are frightening.
Bias edit
Another primary concern with Wikipedia is it's inherent bias against new users. Matters which are at best guidelines are turned into mechanisms to harass and demean editors, especially new editors. Most of the guidelines in Wikipedia are a question of balancing competing ideals. In order for one editor to control content, an experienced editor can bait others and generate disputes artificially. There is always some guideline or other which is pushed to the limit. Within Wikipedia, there are large pockets of conduct which are unregulated and other areas which are so tightly regulated they defy the usual norms of human conduct. Anyone who cannot navigate these waters is set to be harassed and denigrated. The difference between Wikipedia of today, and that of ten years ago is that editors who applied human rules of integrity to Wikipedia have opted out. The legacy is apparent in the diminished quality of discussion on the talk pages. The most active editors of Wikipedia often apply rules in a manner divorced from their purpose as though Wikipedia was its own cultural bubble, defending itself from outside influence. This is the essence of bias. Travelmite (talk) 01:53, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
