Have you tried to edit contentious Wikipedia articles? The edits would get nuked and Wikilawyered away by editors who control the article.

You should look at "Wikilawyering" as mostly a scare tactic.

I acknowledge that making ones edits pass by other interested editors (especially those with more time or numbers than you have) is exhausting. But it is worth it, considering Wikipedia gets first place in Google's search results.
