  Subject: [WikiEN-l] Editor's guides
 Is there such a thing as editors' guides to specific areas?

 For example, the Trinidad and Tobago article attracts people all  
 the time
 who add "new" information which is already contained in some  
 subarticle.
 They don't expect the level of depth of Trinidad and Tobago  
 articles that
 exist, so they just add something that's "missing", probably  
 unaware of what
 exists. 
I think there's a better way to frame the problem. The problem is  
when people look for information in the way they expect to look for  
it, under the heading where they expect to find it, they aren't  
finding it.
