Please help me with... I am mostly a Wikipedia user, but also an occasional editor, and trying to help. But on two separate recent occasions now I've had edits I have made reverted almost immediately, for what seem to be flippant reasons, by people who seem more dedicated to lording over the pages they consider theirs (or something?) than trying to improve Wikipedia. It is extremely demoralizing, and the most recent one just plain made me mad. I can understand no reasonable basis for it. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Stereoisomerism&oldid=prev&diff=1056591772 I added the see also section because the formatting [italicization, capitalization] of chemical descriptors is a common source of confusion for my students when writing papers, and the best resource I have found on that isn't linked to by almost any of the Wikipedia articles on related topics.) Should I try to engage the person who reverted the page in talk somehow, or take some other response, or just give up (this is what I'm leaning toward, as I do not have time to play endless games...I edit when I find a hole in Wikipedia in the course of trying to use it) and leave editing to the "professionals?" That's how it feels right now. This is not a rush/priority matter (in fact, it is the last week of classes so I am pretty swamped). Thanks.
