I have the same problems wrt. the spirits of that project concerning
only the content of some articles. Even if all articles are kept and
nothing is ever deleted, some are still so much poisoned with, hmm,
the current common spirit/attitude/opinion or the biased opion of the
most active Wiki editors in that area, that it is impossible to stand
reading those articles. And further I then come to the same
conclusion: it's futile editing -- two seconds after my edit someone
else will 'correct' may corrections.
But how to fix these problems? Disallowing deletion does not help
much. OTOH, it is definitely needed to prevent total garbage.
