4.) This specific case: Recently, while editing an utterly unrelated Wikpedia article, I followed a link, and found important info missing in a related article. I edited it, and added a related article. From those, or related research, I stumbled across the articles in question, namely:

• Annie E. Casey Foundation and related articles.

including:

• Casey Family Programs
• Casey Family Services subtopic (in both articles)

Seeing these as woefully inadequate coverage of what I knew (from extensive experience in public affairs -- though through no direct contact with any of these organizations or their affiliates/promoters) -- that these were organizations of immense, even historic, importance in their respective fields (rightly or wrongly).

It looked to me like all that Wikipedia had on these three interrelated organizations was some really amateurish public relations drivel, and virtually no references. I did my level best to fix this, without spending more than a dozen hours of my life on them (I do have a "day job", and countless other responsibilities, and a personal life. I'm not a career Wiki-geek -- just someone knowledgeable trying to be constructively helpful.)

My main focus was on the * Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF) article, and you'll note I did a pretty thorough job of documenting, including official speeches to that organization from a U.S. President and, a decade later, a U.S. Attorney General, as well as links to White House press release from a rival Presidential administration.

Futher -- despite the fact that nearly all references to the AECF, that could be found online, were laudatory -- I very diligently dug for, and dug up, and conspicuously listed, a link to a very substantial and biting critique of the AECF, from a philisophically hostile professional political writer, affiliated with a think tank of an extreme libertarian organization hostile to just about every social welfare services advocacy organization, even the nationally revered AECF.

As for the AECF's other two affiliate organizations -

• Casey Family Programs
• Casey Family Services

- deriviatives (now divorced) of the AECF, there was little time left in my schedule to fix the wretched bits of public relations drivel that constituted these Wiki articles.

Hastily, I did what I could to put more matter-of-fact, neutrally-worded material in amongst the obviously biased junk already there, mostly in separate paragraphs and/or sections, referring mostly to their websites because I didn't have time to dig any deeper.

Having, myself, been abused (in my opinion) by other Wiki editors in the past, who've excised good-faith contributions of mine, I decided to restrain my own editing impulses, and humbly opted to NOT cut their stuff out (except to the extent I'd reworded parts a bit more neutrally). I figured the Wiki cops would, soon enough, find that stuff and excise it officially (there seems to be no shortage of eager Wiki-hatchets out there).

5.) Logins lost: During the days I spent trying to fix all this Wiki-junk, at NO profit to myself whatsoever -- nor to anyone I know personally, politically or occupationally -- I was also attending many other responsibilities, and constantly on the move. I edited, as brief moments of time permitted, from restaurants, libraries, and wherever I could get a wi-fi link.

Frequently, my system crashed (dead battery, usually, or lost connection). Sometimes, it broke and re-established connections, and -- with multiple screens/websites/webpages open simultaneously -- I often had no idea I'd been logged off. This apparently resulted in some of my edits being labeled (to my horror) as coming from an anonymous IP address, rather than my own Wikipedia User:Zxtxtxz identity.

That was never intentional.

In fact, the following edits, are mine, and if you could replace the IP address with my user ID -- restoring the anonymity of the locations from which I communicated -- I would greatly appreciate it.

6.) Wiki-wacky reactions: I understand that I stepped into somebody else's mess. But I really didn't expect to get tarred with the brush meant for actual mischief-makers on Wikipedia. With some calmer reflection, I realize how this might have looked to someone on the outside, and I can accept that this accusation against me, apparently resulting from some truly imappropriate behavior by others before me on those articles, was an honest mistake by the person flagging me.

But, frankly, I'm beginning to find Wikipedia to be disturbingly legalistic and threatening -- and some of its responses too obsessively fussy, harsh, and disrespectful of good intentions -- to engage with. I urge Wikipedia to review its own methods of adopting, dissemenating and enforcing standards, and find some way less belligerent and more welcoming to those of truly good intentions, and diligently neutral contributors.
