Wikipedia says it's losing contributors

I have long complained about Wikipedia's revised contribution and editing procedures, a system that devalues new contributions and elevates beyond all reason the negative critiques, reversions and deletions that constitute the net contribution of super-editors. It appears I am not alone. Wikipedia's new contributor-hostile policy has resulted in - surprise! - fewer contributors. My recommendations: stop deleting articles, remove all the little 'the neutrality of this article is disputed,' or 'the following section doesn't cite any sources' notifications, and stop catering to the criticisms of the print media (who, after all, would rather see Wikipedia fail).
