Wikipedia is nice enough.
I try to follow the guidelines, wherever I can. Not an expert at adding things though. But it really pisses me off whenever other people just delete the sites and facts I add, just because they don't think it's "notable" or some bullshit like that.
"Oh, a quick google search came up with very few hits, so I will now just delete this page you made instead of asking you to expand it!"
They can do us all a favor, and go delete themselves from the planet! (this is the main reason why I stopped adding things to Wikipedia - if not for these deletist pricks ruining everything, I would be on here every day!"
I've been a member of this site since 2007. Located in Copenhagen, Denmark, Europe. That makes it more than 15 years of (mostly passive) membership already. Time flies!
- I probably created or massively updated a few more sites, but it's gonna take too much time to look 'em up.
This is a very good site, which isn't always perfect for seeking information, but usually is a good basis for knowledge. I've used this site for many things over the years, and I've tried to add important information when I see it. Kudos to the site, and the idea that anybody can add anything (original concept, that is - before all these ridiculous rules began to ruin the site).
But apart from the annoying deletists that always ruins hours of work from others, this place is pretty cool!

Once a Wikipedia article is deleted that you can't get at the history. A lot of people, including myself, put a lot of effort into maintaining that list. Now because of the Wikipedia zealots, all the information appears to be lost forever. This is no longer a community project, it's a bureaucratic black-hole. Hopefully things will change someday though.
If you find any of the remaining pictures I've bothered to upload, and you wanna tag it for deletion because of a poorly written "rationale", and if you wanna change the copyright, then DO IT YOURSELF! I'm not gonna bother doing anything with photographs on this site anymore.
I just found this picture, which illustrated the problem with wikipedia: Why bother finding a great picture (with POSSIBLE copyright), when you can take a paparazzi snapshot with a mobile-phone yourself, like this, for free: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:James_White_cropped.jpg - Yes, I know. It's a great picture, I'm sure nobody will sue us now. KnatLouie ( talk) 23:48, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Meh.
