Article is based on Felipe Ortega's research. There are two claims
from this article:
1. 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.
