Not absolutely everything I've ever contributed was kept, but definitely a lot of it. I genuinely get the feeling that the modern Wikipedia hatred comes from somewhere other than a few unfortunate edit wars, but I'm not in-tune enough to know.
Everything I ever added was kept, and I was permanently banned. I created [ciation needed], started the admins noticeboard, reworked the USA Patriot Act article, wrote numerous articles for WiR with extensive referencing, contributed to peer review and good article reviews, and a shitload more, but nope. Not good enough.
Why anyone would contribute to that cesspool is anyone’s guess.

Good for you I guess.

This comment is a little light on the reasoning for why you were permabanned.
Someone did the research-digging a while back about this, if you want a third-party view: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45136376
I commented on BrownHairedGirl’s RFA. The most toxic user ever on Wikipedia.
I can assure you, there are those on Wikipedia who committed far worse offenses and they remain.
Like I say - a cesspool that doesn’t respect article writers.
