Wikipedia:Stop writing



When drafting a new article in Articles for Creation:
 * Write ONE (1) small paragraph that neutrally describes the topic
 * Then Stop Writing
 * Then concentrate only on finding THREE (3) independent and reliable sources that significantly discuss the topic

If you found at least 3 good sources, then your draft just may have a chance! Now you can start writing again, enjoy! Maybe add another paragraph, maybe even two! But don't go overboard. Keep it short and simple and cite your sources.

Didn't find 3 good sources? Don't worry, there is no deadline. Keep on searching for sources from time-to-time, while you enjoy working in other areas of Wikipedia.

But wait, it got declined again!
Oh no! Did you submit your new short and simple draft that you thought had 3 good sources on it, but it was still declined by a reviewer? They may be part of an evil conspiracy to stop you from contributing to Wikipedia, or they may not. Either way, take a breather and research these THREE (3) questions: Don't panic if you're not sure what to do. Feel free to post a polite request at the Help Desk for assistance before submitting your draft again.
 * Is your text really neutral?
 * Are your 3 good sources really from independent and reliable sources?
 * Do all 3 of your good sources really significantly discuss the topic?
