For the last few week i been starting to use Wikipedia again adding a few thing here and there, but what
with all the NEO-admin deleting what i took hours to write for notability criteria or significant sources it
seems that Wikipedia has turn into DMOZ or IMDB, by locking the site and a free for all for admins.

I haven't noticed any deletions of my stuff on there. What type of information was it?

Wikipedia is not a reliable resource. It's a site where people put down what they know (or think they know), and the facts be damned. Many of those editors are kids or idiots. I've put down stuff on pages before, only to have some dumbass remove it later on (and I own the items being talked about, and the editor has admitted he does not, yet he still removes my information because he thinks it's wrong). This has happened to several things I've updated, almost always in reference to events I attended, or objects I own, whereas the editor who screws up my information later on did not or does not.
There is also a bad problem of companies self-fellating themselves online. Even the government (pick any country) has gone in and changed things it didn't like. It's becoming a shithole of revisionist thinking, and any educator out there who calls this a reference source should lose his or her teaching license.
Too many twats online.
This site is one of my pet peeves. At best, it's good to find leads on information, but never be surprised if the lead dies or goes another direction when you come across actual reliable sources.
If you get in a pissing contest with another editor, report him to wikipedia for trying to be a dictator of the content. They don't like that. It goes against the open format of the site.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)
