Introduction edit
These user pages are for learning and experimenting purposes and to possibly prepare for future publications. Any advise or comment to improve and educate are most welcome.
Unannounced and undiscussed deletion of any of these user pages is taken as an offense and is not in line with the general rules of wikipedia considering the purpose of these pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Your_first_article
"Consider creating the article first in your user space.
As a registered user, you have your own user space.
You can start the new article there, on a subpage; you can get it in shape, take your time, ask other editors to help work on it, and only move it into the "live" Wikipedia once it is ready to go.
To create your own subpage, see here.
When the new article is ready for "prime time", you can move it into the main area.
(Notes. The Article Wizard has an option to create these kinds of draft pages.
Even in user space, unacceptable articles (see below) are liable to be nominated for deletion.)"

"Be nice to the newbies
Throughout the entire process of NP patrol, it is important to remember not to bite the newbies.
Far from being a monolithic horde of vandals, trolls, and spammers, the available evidence seems to indicate that newcomers write most of Wikipedia's content.

........ them if you're so inclined, and include a pointer or two of feedback about how they can make their contributions even better.
Most will gladly welcome the support.
It is also important to assume good faith as much as possible, or, minimally, to assume incompetence instead of malice.
For example, remember not everyone is as computer-literate as you; some people will accidentally blank or damage pages when attempting to cut and paste material from Wikipedia.
Others may not understand that, yes, their changes really are visible to the entire world; consider using -Uw-draftfirst- to suggest that new users work on their article as a userspace draft."
