In Wikipedia, much emphasis is being put upon featured articles. You do not have to make articles perfect -- that is a plus-- you just have to make them better. Also, every wikipedian makes mistakes. And every Wikipedian, including admins, is supposed to be perfect. And that is one of Wikipedia's faults. If we could know that, we could be a great community.

Back to the articles. Again, you do not need to make articles perfect. For Wikipedia is a work in progress, and will always remain so. There is no publication date, there is no deadline. Wikipedia does not have to be finished today. It merely needs to have improved on yesterday.

And remember, pal, when you are stessed to do your best, have a little fun...

...but please don't vandalise!:)
