David,
I think that the idea is worth pursuing with one minor suggestion that external links be changed to external references.
Links should be added only if the site has been used as a source in preparing the articles or if they provide a valuable resource for the reader to find out more about the topic.

Another one of the things I pride myself on is being careful when it
comes to creation. I may not create much articles, but the ones I do make NEVER face deletion because I make sure they indicate notability and have sufficient reliable references. AFD wouldn't even be as overcrowded as it is now if everyone did the same.
Any thoughts on my preloaded new article template idea? It's just wikitext, so regulars could do what they liked, but newbies will see a clear indication of what we expect in an article.
