According to a 2009 report by the Palo Alto Research Center, the contributions of casual and new contributors are being reversed at a much greater rate than several years ago. The result is that a steady group of high-level editors has more control over Wikipedia than ever. This 2017 article in Slate makes clear this problem continues into recent years.
A group of editors known as “deletionists” are said to “edit first and ask questions later,” making it harder for new contributors to participate, and making it harder for Wikipedia—which, again, aspires to provide “the sum of all human knowledge”—to overcome the issue that it is controlled by a stagnant pool of editors from a limited demographic.
What is a deletionist?
A editors who participate in writing articles with contributors
B editors who interview and proofread information given by contributors
C editors who change or remove information given by Contributors
D editors who assist contributors in verifying their claims
