the trials and tribulations of a wikipedia editor (part 1???)

okay soooooo

ive been a wikipedia editor for a while

and like. when i started, the amount of poorly written, plagiarized, and biased articles was astonishing.

for instance, i was editing the 'rapid resolution therapy' and im 99.9% sure the creator, or at least someone who worked on it wrote it. it was written like an advert...

i had to remove so much, and rewrite so much so it wasnt all biased.... only like 1% of the article didnt seem biased whatsoever. and that is not okay on wikipedia.

and sometimes articles are flagged when theres absolutely no work needed, i mean, flags dont get removed much so it may have been fixed by one of my fellow editors already and was still flagged as needing work.

and then some articles are borderline gibberish and/or unreadable. which, is really, REALLY bothersome, like... which admin let this get published
