The problem is we've let it slide for so long we now have tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of articles that are acceptable by basic editorial standards. If only fixing the existing problems (while more and more are introduced) was feasible.

I just don't have the energy to fight.
One of my favorite things about Wikipedia is the sense of self-reliance.
In other words, if there's something that bugs you, fix it.
If Wikipedia is missing an entry, create one.[1] If Wikipedia's information is incorrect or incomplete, fix it. If Wikipedia's sourcing is insufficient, add a source. If Wikipedia's spelling is bad, fix it.
Fix fix fix.
Instead of complain complain complain delete delete delete.
But hey. We're getting near the 7-year life cycle of most such innovative projects, so I'm expecting the major successful fork pretty soon.
