Did you… not follow the guidelines?
Nope. Then I got banned. So I'm not finding it sad to see Wikipedia disappearing

Well. Maybe. But it's more complicated than that. The moderator was aiming for me it seemed. I never had such a bad experience online.
I'm not interested anymore in Wikipedia either; they can just figure it out. I'm never, ever contributing a single word to Wikipedia again.

Oh interesting, may I ask how specialized those sources were? The first scenario that comes to mind is that perhaps they were known to be less than reputable, which could lead to a ban

Somebody else was agreeing with me, so didn't agree with the moderator either. But the moderator thought that this was an alt account of mine (which it wasn't, it was not me). And then it banned it from the platform. My account a 15 years account old. You can look it up, it's under my real full name.
But ow well. I don't mind anymore like I said. I hope there will be more Wikipedia alternatives.

Oh wow, yeah that sounds like some crazy mod abuse. Nothing beats volunteer contributors when it comes to drama haha

Wikipedia is getting the same faith as stackoverflow now.
I'm actually more in favor of more specialized wikis instead today. Like arch Linux wiki. Which I also contribute to. Or wine wiki etc.
