Unfortunately, this administration isn’t going to be much help for her. Feels like this is going to be an uphill battle.

Either way there should be competitors to Wikipedia. One of the promising projects is ibis.wiki but so far there’s no function to integrate Wiki markup yet.

Why is that important? Wikipedia is a common good, can’t we just fix the problems by working together?

It’s impractical and unlikely, bordering on impossible. Deletionists have driven a lot of productive contributors out of the projects through shady tactics like “wikilawyering” and gaming the system. You can look at this essay by Gwern to see what I’m talking about.
