Don't put all your eggs in one Wikipedia

> I recently tried creating a page for Swathanthra Malayalam Computing ... it was soon deleted.

Sounds typical.

I used to be a frequent contributor. I started a few stubs that later became large articles, and helped research a few more established articles.

Felt great.

Nowadays, though, it's like a gold rush happened, everyone's staked out their territory. You edit a page, you get a lot more pushback. You create a new page, marked for speedy deletion.

I don't bother editing very often anymore, sometimes I just comment on pages. I guess I'm part of the trend:
