Do we really want to be discouraging newbies from creating (or. at the least. suggesting the creation of) new articles? I say we suggest everyone head to AfC, have AfC get its act together and find some people familiar with policy to join and help take care of AfCs and then look for articles that look promising.

Me too :) Just type the name and get offered the chance to "Do it yourself" :) Nevertheless, it's not that obvious for newcomers...
That may have its advantages... A newbie will have to delve a short distance in to our guidelines to figure it out, and that could make them realise that wikipedia is not the place for the article they wish to add. If it is, then they will go ahead and write it.(in theory anyway, I don't know if it actually works like that). --Michael Billington _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list Wikipedia-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
