[edit]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.
