Helpful suggestions

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head now is that a number of users here have a "Deletionist" mindset. They hold the point of view that deleting poor articles is the only "True Way." They do not even consider fixing poor articles when they see them on sight. Thus, they immediately mark them to be deleted instead. Therefore, it is wise to at least write and save a good draft when creating articles.

Sorry, I cannot think of anything else right now. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your experience on Wikipedia. Zzyzx11 | Talk 02:03, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
