Well, let's see...

I submitted an article about one of the most important writers of my country, and it was deleted because it is apparently irrelevant. Years later someone submitted a stub, and it remains like that until today.

I fixed a dead link on the Kalman Filters page, and the change was promptly reverted because apparently linking to youtube is not allowed. So now only I have the correct link. Oh, well.

I contributed to the discussion regarding the statistics for rape in the US (the "1 in 6" figure doesn't hold), but the discussion went nowhere, as expected.

The only thing I've actually managed to fix was a reference to "Les Miserables" taking place during the French Revolution (it doesn't) and the occasional typo, but nothing really important.

I've fixed typos and then they got reverted back.
Thats the sort of thing that would definately make me loose hope.
Maybe it was a US vs British spelling thing?
Looks like your Kalman Filter change got put back: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kalman_filter&act...
