Which edits did you add to improve it?


Have you ever tried contributing to a Wikipedia article? It's a nightmare due to the other contributors who'll revert all your changes and fight you on everything and it's not worth the effort.


Yes, I've been contributing for two decades as a drive-by editor. I'm occasionally reverted; I suck it up, I don't own these articles. I don't get into fights. I avoid editing articles about politics, especially about nationalist hot buttons. I also move gingerly around some history articles, which are often patrolled by fanatical revisionists.

I don't get nightmares.


How well do you know the subject? I will deal with it for you.

You can post a diff and I will find someone who will get it in.


None. I know nothing about the Big Rip. Judging from the (brief) talk page, the article doesn't get a lot of love from editors.
