In these cases, did someone roll back your changes? Was discussion added
to the Talk tab?
I do enough Wikipedia edits that I get to vote on board membership. Or
used to. I have only done a few edits in recent years. The trickiest
edit has been the page for a woman who was a child actor in the 70s but
is now a doctor. The info in her page was wrong (and unattributed) and
she hasn't done any interviews in 20 years or described in any media
coverage what she has done since leaving the entertainment business. I
got her e-mail address and exchanged messages with her. It was
completely surreal. We discussed what she wants the general public to
know about her now. I asked if she was sure on a few points, e.g., when
I thought it might be too specific on where she is now. What is on the
page about her is what she felt comfortable with (as of 2019-2020). To
get around the "no original research" thing, I added a Talk tab section
explaining all of the above and offered to make the email exchanges
available (with her contact info redacted). That was 5-6 years ago and
no one has edited the page since.
If someone has something they think should be in a Wikipedia page and
had it removed, I can help get it added to a Talk tab entry at a minimum.

This is an almost perfect description of my experience of Wikipedia.
