I've been operating on wikipedia since 2002. Small edits here and there, I only created an account when I felt the need to add pictures.
During the last year I've noticed the alarming increase of a type of user that makes people swear never to use wikipedia again: the rulebook banger. I don't mean a rule nazi that sticks by the rules no matter what. I mean a person who will make it his personal quest to beat you and your edits into the ground because he has some sort of unfulfilled desire in real life. He literally knows all the rules of wikipedia by heart and will use them to enforce his point and his view only disregarding them or brutally enforcing them when it suits his needs. He will say your sources are not valid, remove your images and revert your edits just because it makes him feel important.
This my friends is the rulebook banger and he is the main reason people quit wikipedia.
Each user account has its own watchlist. If you want to easily keep track of an article, you can see the most recent edits by adding it to your watchlist. To do this, simply click the star tab at the top of the page to turn the star blue, and the current page you are viewing will be added to your watchlist. You can add as many pages as you want to your watchlist. To remove it, click on the star again and the star will turn white again.
To see your watchlist click Watchlist at the top of any page of Wikipedia (you must be logged-in).
This user feels that out of processdeletions subject to an administrator's whims rather than consensus damage Wikipedia more than any userbox ever could.*
