Okay, I stand corrected, but I also stand by that it is interesting that it is pointed out that "The project was inspired by SequoiaView" in the lead section, but not that it was a direct port of KDirStat. It feels odd but also intentional, so I never bothered to change it. I'll leave it up to if anyone else feels similarly enough to do so, because then at least that means there are two of us.

Everything I ever added to Wikipedia was removed, within the day, by a very diligent and hard-working Wikipedia person.

Same. My experience with the “concept” of Wikipedia was very high until I had the “direct experience” of Wikipedia, and I realized that the encyclopedia of the commons may not have planned for me to be in the commons.

Same. Even a single sentence with an easily verifiable fact. Reverted in seconds.

Everything I've ever added was kept.

Not absolutely everything I've ever contributed was kept, but definitely a lot of it. I genuinely get the feeling that the modern Wikipedia hatred comes from somewhere other than a few unfortunate edit wars, but I'm not in-tune enough to know.

Good for you I guess.

Everything I ever added was kept, and I was permanently banned. I created [ciation needed], started the admins noticeboard, reworked the USA Patriot Act article, wrote numerous articles for WiR with extensive referencing, contributed to peer review and good article reviews, and a shitload more, but nope. Not good enough.

Why anyone would contribute to that cesspool is anyone’s guess.

This comment is a little light on the reasoning for why you were permabanned.

I commented on BrownHairedGirl’s RFA. The most toxic user ever on Wikipedia.

I can assure you, there are those on Wikipedia who committed far worse offenses and they remain.

Like I say - a cesspool that doesn’t respect article writers.

Ah, I see, you were instigating constantly and people were sick of your shit. Seems like a reasonable ban, especially when you violated an IBAN already.

Were you Chris.sherlock/Aussie Article Writer on Wikipedia? Sounds like pot calling the kettle black re: toxic. You had an interaction ban against her FFS.
