I wonder how many people stop editing wikipedia not because they can't put information in,
but they are trying to take information out they think does not belong.
Not that this editor has left yet, but, I would think a possibility, and it should be taken into
consideration in any discussion, in any case.

Wikipedia is like the Hotel California: you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. blink.gif

Then there is the fact the user seems to be a minor:

So, maybe he shouldn't be the one needing to edit these kinds of articles in the first place......
