[edit] Philosophy

If I'm reading a page and it has spelling errors or is formatted more like an IM conversation than an encyclopedia entry, I will probably trust it less, as I will think the creator and subsequent editors did not have enough knowledge of or interest in what they were doing, to do a good job at it. We have lots of content editors, and when I can I add sources, images, and content, however, I mainly follow behind others making sure what they've written puts it best face to the world.

codicil In scanning several thousand articles, I've often "found" those that should be deleted through their poor spelling and formatting. Wandering from page to page won't always find every non-notable article on a particular topic, especially if the article in question is OR uploaded and never linked from another article by the creator.
