Gregory's ServerI find wikipedia insufferable. Start a stub article about a US$258+ million under construction dam project and it gets subsequently removed as "not notable". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polihali_Dam #AfricanFootnote #Wikipedia #Lesotho

@MichaelMaggs Check the history. Once content removed and redirected, once put-up for immediate deletion. @Firefishy Correct, but others have added content and as of now it’s now looking fine. Collaborative improvement is how Wikipedia is supposed to work @MichaelMaggs Yesterday it was a redirect with no content. Early this morning it was up for deletion. Adding to Wikipedia is a sisyphus battle. If this is the way it is meant to work it is broken. @Firefishy I just expanded your stub and clarified the issue regarding notability. Now everything is okay. @rtnf @Firefishy IMHO it is not everything ok, even if this was sorted out then, similar cases are happening all the time, and many contributors have already been shooed away (according to my impression, not based on hard numbers admittedly) I also had some hard experiences being shooed away like that... But I persisted, staying low for months, hiding from the ferocious wiki admins who devour every newcomer on sight, all while thoroughly learning the ins and outs of Wikipedia culture. Then I emerged from my hideouts and eventually started to contribute back, little by little.😂 |
@Firefishy It’s not been deleted. It’s there at the exact page you linked to.
