How to survive Wikipedia:

• Wikipedia attracts a lot of people with various issues which handicap their ability to work with other people. More often than not they’ll be someone who makes new accounts every time they get banned, which can take months to years. Others just put "Semi-Retired" or "Retired" on their userpage and "quit" every time they're close to being sanctioned. I spent my first few months on Wikipedia wasting time with two such characters. If you try to engage with someone like this, spot the signs and don’t bother. Move on.
• Yes, of course
  WP:NPOV
  exists. No, don’t complain about it on Wikipedia, it will be denied and you’ll be accused of harassment, being biased yourself, or having some sort of 'us vs them' mentality. Of course, that’s how systemic bias works. If you care about neutrality, avoid contentious issues that editors and admins on Wikipedia care about.
• disregard
  these policies at will, depending on their interests and biases. Accept this.
• Know when you're being
  stonewalled
  . Seek dispute resolution.
• RfC
  , vote for your option, and forget about the issue for the next 2-3 months while the RfC concludes (don’t forget to reopen and update the RfC date once a month.)
• In short: Wikipedia is better the less you’re invested in it. Be a
  gnome
