Wikipedia editor count down by a third

I’m pretty sure that anyone willing to add and cite sources about places in sub-Saharan Africa will face no hardships at all. Such pages are not about trends or celebrities or controversies, and so simply adding facts about real places to already-existing pages is non-controversial and new editors will seldom hear a discouraging word. Yes, Virginia, that is the secret.

I sometimes suspect that people who complain about such things find complaining easier than doing the half-hour or hour of research it takes to gather and type more factual info.

I sometimes edit history articles, including history stubs. Unfortunately, it can take a lot more than half an hour to track down current scholarly interpretations; it takes a lot less time for someone to track down and post older discredited theories, fringe theories, or their interpretations of these.

P.S. Can’t you find more informative labels than F0/E5 for the buttons here?
