User:Malyctenar
I'm a Czech (in all those senses) (so of course I used to contribute to cs.Wikipedia too, until I left it for its being even more broken than en:) fan of science fiction, among many other varied interests. My reading, both at Wiki and elsewhere, is eclectic, so anything may strike my fancy. I ended up dabbling mostly in Czech topics, which are even sadlier neglected than the SF ones (and/or, in a few heated political topics, exposed to assaults of drive-by editors with a grudge, bad English and no understanding, let alone willingnes to observe, wikiethics). My meta: userpage
I guess I am a WikiGnome - which is probably good, because if my contributions were visible, I'd face an uphill battle against the great unwashed.
Before I registered in early 2004, I made a couple contributions anonymously. I tried to get them authorised ex post, but its non-functionality is one of indicators
Why Wikipedia is broken[edit]
Monica Lewinsky: my emergency edit, origin of the nonsense that caught my attention: 10 months in there, and article on such an exposed person generally lousy, with more stuff fitting to the Lewinsky scandal than obvious personal one like the book.
further cases:
"Dasenjka" in Karel Čapek
and several I don't recall offhand but could look up in my contribs list; lately marked with "shame!" in summaries

Al Gore and his scandals - poor, poor, poor; confused, disorganised, minimally sourced, mutually inconsistent. If a person of such importance / entry of such attractivity is in such a state mess, what hope is there?
Effing morons. (Might somebody with a modicum of sense come later, in coming days, weeks, ...? I'm too disgusted now even to bothering with a revert in the hope that it will meet another sampling of idiots.) P. S.: They kinda did come up with a sensible one-sentence summary in the end.
The Larry Niven New Wave nonsense (hm, perhaps it's not that good idea to diff just the edit that introduced the nonsense and my saving it; I'm not responsible for much of the development in the intervening 5 months, some of it even detrimental - and there were several reasonably BNF editing meanwhile!)
This would be funny, if it weren't so illiterate: [1] - [2] - [3] - [4]. (Corected by me on 30 May when I noticed what had been going on with it since my last edit.)
By pure chance, yet another unchecked vandalism.
Oh, would have forgotten: Joy Gresham (no time to look for the nonsense's origin now - oh well, here it is: 'twas already in the founding edit, 2 years before!)
Other[edit]
The weirdest "vandalism" I've sever seen: [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Depeche_Mode&diff=prev&oldid=116158507 - left in place for 4 months, of course. 20:34, 25 July 2007 (UTC) (CEST)
