Very true Tinu, Most people just dont get policies right. I am sure its a standard practice by experienced users now to use a {{Welcome}} template, but very few users actually go through them. I think a better, fun, interactive way [read quiz/survey] of reaching out the wikipolicies will help. Probably this can be a criteria to make the user autoconfirmed. That way we could have fewer users leaving after their first page being deleted. Just a thought.

I think we need to also focus in our outreach programmes to tell people why would a content be deleted or altered on Wikipedia
Thoughts?
