It's wikimedia-L (not 1), FYI, and it's really for cross-project and
movement wide discussion. The best place to raise your concerns is
on-wiki. On to the subject...
I think everyone with enough experience with Wikipedia has heard this
story before. We read it with a sigh and a sense of resignation,
because there are a number of different problems at play and no one
has really made any progress teasing them out, let alone solving them
individually or collectively. I'll state the bottom line in two parts:
* First, Wikipedia is not an ideal forum for presenting new or not
widely accepted knowledge. A full explanation of this would be
familiar to most readers and take many paragraphs, so I'll leave that
there.
* Second, improving content on Wikipedia can often be an exhausting
battle; resolving disagreements is frequently a match of wills taking
months or even years. It's crucial to involve other people and to
adopt a gradualist, pragmatic approach.
It's these two things that often trip up experts, especially those
with esoteric knowledge or confidence in new research. When you
encounter resistance, you might interpret it as Wikipedia not wanting
your help; that's not the case - so keep trying!
