Goodbye Wikipedia

In the past decade, I actively used and promoted Wikipedia, and donated to it. However, the community is going more and more unfriendly to newbies. I created new articles on English Wikipedia, which were as good as ones I wrote on Chinese Wiki. But these contributions were reverted on English Wiki, due to short articles, insufficient notability, not an improvement, to name but a few. Appearently, the standard of English Wikipedia is so high that new articles on English Wikipedia could qualify “Did you know” articles On Chinese Wikipedia.

In a nutshell, I quit all mediawiki projects and withdrew my finicial support. I now don’t bother to fix typos or make minor improvements on any Wikipedia site. I devote more time to write on my personal blog, publish my research papers, and make contributions to open source software.
