[WikiEN-l] Feeling encyclopedic but uncreative? Hit WP:AFC

[David Gerard]

People still put stuff in WP:AFC, and useful things linger there for
*months*. I discovered this when looking up the [[dekatron]] on
Wikipedia. (Vintage electronics only remembered by long-since-retired
techies? Just the thing for Wikipedia!) There was no article. I did a
search and found an article had been lingering in AFC since last
August. It wasn't a great article, but it was much more useful than
nothing. I'm cleaning it up as we speak.

WP:AFC contains stupendous amounts of crap, of course. But then, so
does Wikipedia. So if you're bored and want to extend the encyclopedia
rather than just do administrative noodling, it might be a useful
place to start.

By the way, will anon article creation *ever* be switched back on?
What's the problem?
