    I became obsessed with Wikipedia edits a few years ago, to the point where I'd even cleanup articles on subjects that I knew nothing about, just making text/grammatical corrections. I've moved on from it now. But I do wish that they would stop allowing random I.P. address to edit content.

    I usually don't bother anymore. When I did, the edit wars were enough to give me a headache.

    Same here. The worse part about Wikipedia is when FANS show up and start trying to narrate the article like a fucking Lifetime Intimate Portrait. Nobody needs to know how emotionally distressed this singer was when they were 6 and their parents divorced. I've been in so many edit wars that finally you just have to say "FUCK IT!" Take the damn article. . . make it look ridiculous until somebody else sees it and fights with u too! lol

    All the time. 5,000+ edits to my name. I agree that the fancrufty editors are the worse.

    Do you edit Wikipedia? 35166 I fix minor things, but don't bother to contribute or rewrite huge content because of the edit wars.
