Don't shoot me. I'm just an unpaid volunteer here.

I am an inclusionist rather than a deletionist.

[edit]

If you are a deletionist, go away and play video games. You are not helping Wikipedia. You are not helping society. You are not increasing human knowledge, you are deleting human knowledge.

Tips for others

[edit]

If you are not an expert on a subject area, don't edit that article. PERIOD.

[edit]

If a cite is missing, spend 5 minutes to find a cite rather than just deleting parts of articles.

[edit]

Many, many corrections by EXPERTS are deleted by other amateur EDITORS.

[edit]

Here are the steps by stupid editors:

1. Expert comes along an sees a FACTUAL ERROR in article.

2. Wikipedia EDITOR reverts or undoes the correction because of lack of a cite. Article is now factually INCORRECT.

3. If you are not an EXPERT in a subject area, don't UNDO changes of others because of lack of a cite!! This is especially true if the original material contains errors that are being fixed. Instead, research and find a cite to decide which of the uncited versions is correct. Just because it is already in wikipedia, it does NOT mean it it FACTUALLY CORRECT!!

Spelling errors

[edit]

I've seen people delete whole sections because there is a spelling error. If were an expert, you would fix the spelling error rather than deleting a few paragraphs of an article.
