I have personal experience of being stalked by at least two administrators on there, leading me to go back to unnamed editing. They were clearly more interested in personalities than content. One of them tried to put copyright strikes on some of my articles even though it was clearly stated that the article used out of copyright material. (Which was on other websites.) In another case, an article of mine he tried to delete has been translated into at least ten other languages, so obviously people do not see it as worthless as he did.

There was no adequate complaints procedure against this, with admins just closing ranks. I edited Wikipedia for at least fifteen years. I was unpaid but I received numerous stars for good content. At the end of the day, I feel used, especially with commercial websites and LLM using Wikipedia for source material.

On some of the smaller Wikipedias, individuals have basically taken them over. This happened with the Greenlandic Wikipedia, resulting in it being taken down.
