    I’ve tried editing a few articles years ago, only to have everything undone hours later with no explanation why and nothing in the way of constructive criticism for whatever invisible criteria the power users were looking for. I don’t even bother anymore and avoid using the entire site if I can find what I need elsewhere.

    Push away eager contributors and you’re stuck with the old guard before you realize it.

      That was my experience trying to clean up some obvious typos. I’ve never bothered trying to contribute again.

      What was the edit about? There’s a rule to never revert others with the default summary

        Ah this was like 10 years ago when I was in undergrad. Possibly something video game or chemistry related.
