Hi. I am Timwi. As somebody with a desire to create, I joined Wikipedia in 2003 and became an avid writer, editor and helper. Unfortunately, with Wikipedia now controlled by the rampant deletionists since the 2010s who seek to erase and destroy other people’s hard work and valuable information, I am no longer welcome on Wikipedia and have consequently no longer participated since. Literally everybody I know is either distraught and frustrated by having to fight just to keep valuable contributions, or doesn’t even bother because “it all gets deleted anyway”.

The destructive consequences of this have been summarized by Gwern in their article, In Defense of Inclusionism more eloquently than I ever could. I highly recommend this to any currently active Wikipedians, especially those who are actively going around to delete everything they can like they’re on a mission to cleanse the planet of information.

Wikipedia will never be healthy or useful until this issue is fundamentally addressed.
