I was previously a Wikipedia editor, and left because of the following reasons:
- Abusive POV-pushing by anonymous editors (ie, using a username, but not their real name) on Judaism- and Israel-related topics. Editors relenting to personal attacks and wars in order to get other editors blocked from editing Wikipedia.
- Editors constantly interfering in topics which are not their fields of expertise. I maintain that editors should only edit articles related to their field of expertise. For example, since I am an Orthodox Jew, I am not editing articles about Christianity, simply because that is not my field of expertise. And since I am quite familiar with medicine, I edit medicine-related articles, but I do not edit articles about, let's say, the Chinese language. If everybody would just stick to whatever subject he is familiar with, these projects have a chance of succeeding. To me this seems logical; to many on Wikipedia, it does not.
