About me edit

I am a beginner Wikipedia user and am not a bot. I have contributed a few times in another wiki. I mostly do rewordings and spell-checking. I barely write articles from scratch. I also turn ineligible images that were "copyrighted" and marked them as ineligible.

What I think of Wikipedia edit

I have primarily things to say about contributing in Wikipedia. Contributing is hard stuff, especially when there are so many users, and it's easy to get in fights. Achieving consensus is very biased. An "old timer" reaches consensus fast because they have "special rights" and "barnstars", and they get more "barnstars" and "special rights" for "contributing in quality" to Wikipedia. The rest of the users get criticized and then don't get many edits because they are all reverted; thus, they don't get "barnstars" and "special rights." Luckily, as "old timers" begin to retire, the game board gets cleared to make way for a new generation of contributors. Hopefully, the new generation knows how to manage Wikipedia effectively and without any kind of bias or tyranny.

Oh yes, and I hate that there are citation marks[1] after every phrase[2] and sentence.[3][4][5][6][7]
