Out of the loop

You can be as familiar with the rules as you want as long as you haven't done specific song and dance that specific editor likes to see before editing you aren't allowed to do it. They are vicious and will delete an article itself if you will try and raise a fuss, under a pretence of topic not being notable. Not a complaint, there is systemic issue in wikipedia and it's getting worse, while wikipedia acknowledges that it exists they do nothing about it.

Have you seen an ad about wikipedia needing new contributors even once?
