This user finds the rule-infested inferno of English Wikipedia despicable. You literally cannot do anything here anymore without some know-it-all rule-maniac throwing an obscure abbreviation at you. This place used to be a place where people could facilitate the growth of knowledge. Now it's just a neverending, ever-growing cobweb of sub-sub-sub-sub rules that you need to know by heart if you want to even replace a comma in an article. You spend hours, days, improving articles, all that to be reverted by some fall-in "patroller" throwing a "rule" at you, that you can otherwise debate the validity of. Especially with articles that need attention of people who actually know something about a topic, its notability and special features, these general rule-throwers are incredible annoyance. It has taken away from the joy of editing.

Orphaned non-free image File:Mangaplus.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Mangaplus.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:34, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
