My quotes of Wikiwisdom:

• "If you delete it from the articles your involved with, then it's obviously not going to be the standard to have it in the articles your involved with."
• “Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a pop culture magazine.” – Keivan.f
• [1]
• "Some editors prefer to be economical with facts for their own agendas."
• Everyone should read the Devil's Dictionary of Wikipedia Policy.

My crowning achievement on Wikipedia has been the article Yurol railway station, which was featured in the Cooroy Rag on page 3 on 8 February 2023.^[1]
