i like wikipedia and think supporting it is important healthy and also

wikipedia as a site feels almost systemically set up to exclude the work and perspectives of anyone other than the average wikipedian (white, male, mid twenties, english speaking). this is absurdly frustrating when edits are reverted under the idea they are not relevant but when in reality they just aren't relevant to this demographic.

## goals
### make camera and photography wikipedia good
aaaaaa

camera and photography wikipedia feels heavily neglected by people better at editing than us, and it shows. pages are filled with meaningless jargon that say the same thing 5 times over while each timing going out of its way to say it actually means something different. they are filled with false information or heavily misleading information, sometimes they are just filled with marketing information. It's a hellscape. 

Camera and photoraphy wikipedia is entirely useless to normal people, photographers, and is only somewhat useful for people interested in optics scientifically (since there is a *lot* of misinformation and bad sources). it feels like it's written by a small set of somewhat techy photographers that write things based on vibes and anecdotal information they heard somewhere. 

I am, not capable of resolving this on my own, and understand it will take a lot of community work as well as actual editing. I actually don't know how much i can do, because so much of so many pages is just completely wrong or badly written, it's incredibly overwhelming to do full reforms all on my own. Sometimes we get writing and proofing help, which also makes the task of spending days writing edits easier, 

## vent

i also have bpd and usually have major mental health episodes whenever one of our good faith edits is reverted or our hard work is diluted and restructured negatively. talk page is good for this because it provides a external place to establish changes and come to terms with them.

we made severe overhaul of mirrorless camera lede section, for example, to get rid of the meaningless jargon and needless gatekeeping and to make it actually mean something to the majority of readers. it's now been diluted and our response is to delete all edits we are working on and abandon the people around us.

we were once told to put what we entered on a different wiki that wasn't designed for the information in question. bus frequencies are entirely encyclopedic and are very useful in a encyclopedia for research and operation knowledge and it is absolutely not just a immediate traveler guide.


this is here as a vent and not meant to ask for anything. i write for my own sake
