Theoretically, at one time maybe. Now - with their rules, it just ain't worth jumping through the hoops.
I know some statements are rubbish, but I can't use my personal knowledge to correct things; and the various 'secondary sources' which one is obliged to reference are themselves often flawed misinterpretations.

WP is basically a bulletin board, from which one has to launch off to find the truth.
Sadly, I do know what you mean and I at least half agree.
I have been attacked for WP edits and had entire articles deleted, and now all I do is occasionally fix typos.
The deletionists are in control and they have their own weird little social network of pseudonymous semi-trolls, giving each other strange little awards. I don't like it at all, but that is much of the C21 internet for you.
