Hi, my name is Dan. I used to contribute to Wikipedia in a variety of ways, but I've given up because ignorant or malicious editors have resisted or undone so much of my work.
Wikipedia is plagued with problems in grammar, writing style, and organization. Too many editors lack the skills, and in some cases the maturity, that should be required to contribute to an encyclopedia. This is especially a problem with anonymous editors, but it also applies to registered wikipedians, including administrators.

Editors often work at cross purposes. Sometimes they prefer opposite extremes over reasonable compromises.
Sometimes editors replace high-quality text with text in their own personal writing style, which in many cases is worse than the original.
