I don't blame you. The cost-benefit of contributing to Wikipedia has plummeted drastically over the past 5 years.

My feeling is that now, pretty much the only time it's worth contributing to Wikipedia these days is when your edit is only an external link or a direct quote+citation. (And this is more true the more popular an article is.) That's one reason I spend more time on my own website than Wikipedia articles; I'm not building on quicksand there.
