Article is based on Felipe Ortega's research. There are two claims from this article:
- English-language version of Wikipedia suffered a net loss of 49,000
contributors, compared with a loss of about 4,900 during the same period in 2008 2. There is an increase of bureaucracy and rules.
Not only "disenchanted" but disappointed most of all in any resolution of conflict because it is very complicated to understand how proceed to defend their point of view. The sysops are not so disposed to guide people in the right process or to unederstand the problem.
The final solution is that only people who are already expert in the processes can impose their point of view and in fact en.wikipedia don't assure a neutral point of view but the point of view of expert users.
If I would list here the articles which are nNPOV for the reason described above, I could be blacklisted for a large amount of email sent to the mailing list.
