Requests for comment/I feel disgusted by Wikimedia and Wikipedia

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

This is a subpage; for more information, see the Requests for comments page.


Hi. I need your input on how not to feel disgusted visiting Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc. and seeing it in my web results page or whenever it is mentioned. Because I think I was abused? maltreated? by a chapter, several volunteer committees, and WMF. And I feel like, I can't justify my 14 years being a moron and making contribution anymore. Am I allowed to talk?

(id) Halo. Saya butuh saran bagaimana caranya biar gak jijik kalo ngeliat halaman Wikipedia, Wiktionary, dll., ngeliatnya di hasil googling, atau kalo disebut sama orang. Soalnya kayaknya saya diperlakukan hina oleh ada organisasi mitra lokal, ada komite sukarelawan, sama WMF juga. Saya rasa saya jadi gak bisa membenarkan saya nulis ngedit kayak orang tolol selama 14 tahun. Boleh ngomong? RXerself (talk) 14:09, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]


  • Allowed to talk? You just did. You say you feel disgusted - well your personal feelings are your own business. If you think there is some sort of problem with Wikipedia and Wiktionary, you haven't explained for anyone else to be able to see what problems you are talking about. -- Infrogmation (talk) 13:50, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • Apparently someone didn't want me to? (I don't blame them) So I asked. And yeah feeling disgusted at its base maybe my personal feelings. But it comes out from the cause I described above, which then made me feel repulsed by a lot of Wikimedia sites, diminishing my will to edit even though I had been doing so for 14 years and having sysop status on two sites projects. I put being disgusted forward because that's the effect of those problems that's affecting my edits.
    • (id) Sepertinya ada tuh yang gak ngebolehin saya ngomong? Gak nyalahin sih, tapi makanya saya nanya dulu. Iya memang mungkin rasa jijik itu rasa pribadi saya. Tapi rasanya muncul kan gara-gara sebab yang saya bilang di atas, dan ngebuat saya ngerasa anti sama tempat ini, mengurangi keinginan saya untuk ngedit padahal saya sudah 14 tahun ngedit dan saya admin di dua situs. Saya kedepankan karena bagi saya masalah besarnya yang dampak ke saya ngedit ya itu.

I feel like my edits, beside of whoever has benefited from it, also have been exploited to:
1) enrich WMF and some of its employees without users like me be benefited from their supposed responsibility; and
2) enable a local chapter to hold large power enough to make threats and mistreat me with impunity, with which,
3) the inability or incapacity of certain volunteer committees to oversee the behaviors of WMF and chapters.
And I feel like I have talked with many people and it's still about the same. I think some didn't even read me. And it also gets tiring and emotionally costly over time. Then a few advised not tell it in a bulk. So I'm sorry I didn't explain much, since I don't have a guarantee any of y'all would read and follow up heh.
(id) Anu, saya merasa bahwa editan sumbangan saya selama ini, selain mungkin sudah bermanfaat bagi orang, tapi juga sudah dipake untuk:
1) memperkaya WMF dan beberapa karyawannya tanpa editor seperti saya merasakan pelayanan dan tanggung jawab mereka; dan
2) memberikan kemampuan bagi organisasi mitra lokal untuk memiliki kekuasaan yang cukup besar untuk dapat mengancam dan berperilaku keji terhadap saya, tanpa sanksi berarti, yang juga adalah berkat
3) ketidakberdayaan beberapa komite berisi sukarelawan untuk mengawasi perilaku WMF dan organisasi mitra lokal.
Dan saya rasa saya sudah banyak bicara dengan macam2 orang lah, tapi bedanya toh apa. Kayaknya malah ada yang gak baca. Buat saya juga menguras tenaga dan mental. Lalu ada lah yang nyaranin jangan tumpahin seablek semua. Jadi maaf kalo saya gak langsung tumpahin seablek semua, ya karena gak ada jaminan juga Anda bakal baca dan ngikutin.

@RXerself This RfC (and apparently ALL Wikimedia projects) are for discussing the projects themselves, but NOT your social feelings. Please do it on Facebook or other social media sites, not here.
I formally request a speedy closure of this RfC. 📅 05:41, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(id) RfC ini (dan tampaknya SEMUA proyek Wikimedia) ditujukan untuk membahas proyek itu sendiri, tetapi BUKAN untuk membahas perasaan sosial Anda. Harap lakukan di Facebook atau situs media sosial lainnya, bukan di sini.
Saya secara resmi meminta penutupan RfC ini secepatnya.📅 05:48, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have pointed out to someone else above that, "And yeah feeling disgusted at its base maybe my personal feelings. But it comes out from the cause I described above, which then made me feel repulsed by a lot of Wikimedia sites, diminishing my will to edit even though I had been doing so for 14 years and having sysop status on two sites projects." Although I have described further above about the cause(s), which you can see are no longer only about feelings, I think it's dishonest to discount the human aspect of editors and to say that social feellings don't have a place in these sites.
(id) Saya kan sudah bilang di atas, "Iya memang mungkin rasa jijik itu rasa pribadi saya. Tapi rasanya muncul kan gara-gara sebab yang saya bilang di atas, dan ngebuat saya ngerasa anti sama tempat ini, mengurangi keinginan saya untuk ngedit padahal saya sudah 14 tahun ngedit dan saya admin di dua situs." Lalu saya sudah gambarkan lebih jauh lagi di atas juga, yang kalau bisa dilihat bukan lagi cuma soal perkara perasaan. Tapi dari yang kamu bilang, saya rasa sih gak pantes itu mengabaikan aspek manusia dari editor terus bilang perasaan sosial gak punya tempat di sini.

HingWahStreet: Thank you for translating my posts into Chinese but I prefer to not have them (at least) here as on this page I prefer just to have my own typing attached to my signature.

Taking the name literally i don’t know who would request to comment on something thiscryptic, I don’t know what you feel disgusted by, why this is worthy of a RfC, I also am unsure if this disgustedness amd its solution is something within the scope of RfC. You said that nobody would read it if you wrote it all down but gathering everything done to you in one place will certainly attract readers and not make us feel like we started to watch a tv series from the middle of the season. judging from your comments above this doesn’t seem like something you are able to answer and thus should get speedily banished to the archives and hopefully goes under the rug.--85.98.20.151
