It's clear from the many replies to yesterday's post that lots of people have tried to edit Wikipedia but been put off by how admins and other editors treat them.
Some persist. Some are 'old guard' that patrol their own turf but repel newcomers. Some have had some success banding together in projects like Women in Red and Wiki Edu. Some I know are paid to edit by nonprofits (respecting WP rules for that, e.g. disclosing who pays them and avoiding conflict of interest edits). But... (1/2)
