I don't understand why some people feel the need to be so snarky in their summary messages:

> I'll bet this clown got paid to write this article and they did a poor job of it, too.

It's really turned me off from contributing. Years ago I got into a spat where someone didn't like something I added to an article and said my sources weren't valid since they were blog posts. I went and found a mainstream magazine article on the topic and they still balked - but eventually relented since they really didn't have a leg to stand on. They silently removed the addition a few months later. However, at that point I was over it and didn't care. The fact eventually made it back into the article a few years later when someone else added it in.

In practice Wikipedia is often an effortocracy, not the meritocracy it wants to be.
