I see you've had quite an intro to Wikipedia! In general, Wikipedia has problems assimilating materials that are "expert" materials that are beyond what's already here. I had a similiar experience with Reading spark plugs for racing. Integrating that expert material with the rest of Wikipedia was quite some work. May I suggest you start slowly rather than producing complete expert articles without context? Again, welcome and I hope you'll stay on Wikipedia to contribute your expertise.

[edit] A reminder
Remember to always sign all of your posts on talk pages. Typing four tildes after your comment ( ~~~~ ) will insert a signature showing your username and a date/time stamp, which is very helpful.

[edit] Welcome on board!
Sorry you had a rather traumatic introduction to Wikipedia! If it makes you feel any better, you're not the first and you won't be the last! A lot of experienced Wikipedians sometimes forget that two WP tenets are "please do not bite the newcomers" and "assume good faith". Anyway, I do hope you stay, and look around the articles in Category:Furniture and its subcategories to get a feel for how WP articles are written and what's still needed. --Angr/comhrá 08:37, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
