pressed button too early

In the last two weeks I'm trying to debug something so I wanted to find some needed information in the wiki. Instead I stumbled on articles full of quoting meaningless and partly false) statements from the forum. I don't see the meaning of this, as it influences the readability of the wiki more and more in a negative way. And I don't see why this is in any way important or helpful to users. I guess this known user wants simply highlight some certain facts, but the way he is doing this is far away from any quality standard known from wikipedia.org, educational books and similar stuff on the web. As I could see former discussions about this issue had been useless. I have two articles about helicopter flying and helicopter-fdm in the pipeline, but I fear that those articles will be also filled up with useless quotes from the forum. So what quality standards the wiki is using? | In the last two weeks I'm trying to debug something so I wanted to find some needed information in the wiki.

Wouldn't be a simple footer with a link to the statement better than inserting quotes? | |||
