But in the end what is in the main article space *is* Wikipedia, and you don't publish half a sentence and a "back in ten" notice in a paper encyclopaedia.
Part of the reason I started contributing to Wikipedia was the (then) tolerance for good-faith works in progress.
I still believe the rate of addition of new articles is not so great that we cannot stop and check a few things before nominating for deletion. I feel a good proportion of the problem is that patrolling new pages attracts the immediateist and impatient above the eventualist and patient contributor.
