Wikipedia's Golden Age
I joined the wikipedia during its golden age. Prior to 2007 there was a good balance between anabolism and catabolism. Very sadly, there was an unanticipated sea change in the wikipedia's baroque and contradictory policies in 2007, which changed the balance, and made it much too easy to delete articles. There are charts that display this sea change.

The volunteers who found it enjoyable exercise to add new content, create new articles, or add the necessary paragraphs to improve existing articles and keep them up to date, no longer found it enjoyable to be end up in wrangles with quality control volunteers, who were growing not only more nit-picky, but also often, malicious and personal. Anyone who has been called to defend the content they spent hours working on, is sure to have encountered passing comments from quality control volunteers who are functionally illiterate. It is exhausting. Most people who were happy adding new content during the wikipedia's golden age started to defect, without really being replaced.

Since you seem to be a smart person, and you are a University student, for whom it would be good experience, I am going to urge you to stop concentrating on simple copy editing, and nominating articles for deletion, and instead work on adding new content and/or helping to keep existing articles up to date.

As I wrote in the AFD you recently initiated, I started working on the wikipedia when it had less than ten percent as many articles as it has now. I started thousands of articles. Sadly, unlike during the wikipedia's golden age, when lots of people would work on articles, when I look at the contribution histories for most of the articles I started I see dozens of edits have been made to the article's metadata, changing which templates it used, which categories it was included in. But no one else had done any actual work on those article's actual content.

You found one good additional reference for Bright Leaves. That one additional reference, included properly, in the modern way, would probably have been enough so that any other impatient people, who didn't see that McElwee was a highly regarded film expert, wouldn't have a concern with the article.

No offense, but I am going to ask for userification of the other article you nominated for deletion. Geo Swan (talk) 13:37, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

inre Articles for deletion/Bright Leaves
NOt to scold, but it's always best to be more diligent and pro-active in a search for reliable sources covering film. The article's talk page offers a link to Metacritic which itself lists 20 reviews in reliable sources. Hint: The Find sources template assigned by AFD is not always the best search tool. A quick withdrawal and close will eliminate lots of spankings. 07:21, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ruthie Tompson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pinocchio (film).

Invitation from Wikipedia Asian Month 2016
 Wikipedia Asian Month  Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)

Wikipedia Asian Month 2017: Invitation to Participate


Hello! Last year, you signed up to participate in Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) 2016 on the English Wikipedia. The event was an international success, with hundreds of editors creating thousands of articles on Asian topics across dozens of different language versions of Wikipedia.

I'd like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia Asian Month 2017, which once again lasts through the month of November. The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length. Editors who create at least four articles will receive a Wikipedia Asian Month postcard!

Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!

If you're interested, please sign up here for the English Wikipedia. If you are interested in also working on other language editions of Wikipedia, please visit the meta page to see other participating projects. If you have any questions, please visit our talk page.

Thank you!
