My first wikipedia edit was correcting the elevation of the tallest point in one of Seattle's neighborhoods. It was immediately removed. In fact, the entire section about the neighborhood's elevation was removed. So, the whole reason I was at Wikipedia in the first place was removed. I thought briefly about adding it back in, because I thought it was super valuable, but upon looking at the profile of who made the edit and finding a "U mad I deleting your work? lmao" style comment at the top, I noped outta there. Petty edit wars on the internet over trivial nonsense sounded like a dumb way to spend time.
