> It dissapoints me to think about how much legitimate human knowledge has been wiped from WP

Wikipedia has never been about collecting sum of human knowledge, as it claims. It's about collecting sum of human knowledge that it can verify.

Wikipedia is designed from the beginning to be a tertiary source, and it's not an accident. This is why if you try to put any original content in it, it will usually get reverted, not because the content is wrong or even unhelpful, but the fact that nobody can verify it. (I'm not saying whether this is a good or a bad thing, it's just the way Wikipedia works) If you want to contribute original knowledge, don't use Wikipedia as a vehicle for doing so, you are better off writing to a blog/magazine/academic journal.
