Wikipedia:Newbie treatment at Criteria for speedy deletion/Henrik

Henrik's experience

All in all, I was positively surprised. I was particularly impressed when Jean-Paul Costa went from this to this in five minutes after creation. None of the articles were tagged for deletion, despite being unreferenced and being created by a username which could be interpreted as promotional. The rest were also correctly tagged as unreferenced and quickly expanded into properly formatted and categorized stubs. Kudos to the new page patrollers! If I have anything to complain about, it is that my user missed a welcome. As a new user, I would have been impressed by Wikipedia's speed and attention, but the article improvements felt more like actions of an unseen machinery, rather than a community one could join. henrik•talk 21:41, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
