Anecdotally the worst situation is for new users: I've worked to encourage colleagues to give Wiki editing a go in recent years, and had about a 100 percent rate of people's first edits getting reverted, not because they were bad edits (I checked and went through the process with them) and regardless of how uncontroversial an edit they were attempting. It feels like some people treat putting off new users as a hazing ritual or mild sport.

@timbray @JubalBarca @mathew It definitely is an issue (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse is a good resource for new editors if they run into trouble
