The reason I am no longer active is illustrated below. Several days of research and hard work resulted in two overkeen editors deciding that badges, historical information and quotes from cited publications - all concerning the regimental history of two cavalry regiments, breached copyright. No attempt was made to discuss the deletions with me or ask if I could get written permission from the Regimental Associations concerned - which I can, easily. In the face of such sanctimonious behaviour I can only conclude that the lunatics are running the asylum.
In addition, despite a post to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, no attempt was made to address issues about other editors assuming ownership of articles concerning the Northern Ireland Troubles.
I advise other well-meaning internet users to be aware of the pitfalls of trying to help Wikipedia.
Goodbye
