[edit] Create Create Create
I guess my wiki philsophy is create, create, create. If you see an unexcusable example of copyright infringement delete it, otherwise give everthing a chance to grow and mature. Even if a page starts out as one sentence, that doesn't mean it isn't a good start.
[edit] Seeds that have Grown
I like to work on Microchip (comics). I started it with a lame sentence, but months later hours of other people's time had been spent to fix it. It makes me look like a genius.
Another good example is List of Strangers with Candy episodes. I did the first entries and now it's pretty far along.
[edit] Nice Quote
User:Xoloz - In any event, I treat Wikipedia as a quasi-professional endeavor. Though there are many editors here I like and respect, ultimately, this project is work: I don't edit to make friends or enemies, but because I believe in the principle of open scholarship available to any reader. I also believe it is especially important to show every kindness to new editors: whatever their reason for being here initially, I know that they can be won over to Wikipedia's noble mission, if someone takes the time calmly to familiarize them with our policies and standards. In almost every situation, friendly discussion is the key to resolving conflict; whenever that (rarely) fails, the solution is to consult others (informally, or through mediation processes.) If I can't find a way to have a friendly discussion with a particular individual, someone can, and I will leave the matter in the hands of that person, who is in a better to position to judge any difficulty.[1]
