Don't panic! Just work some material back in
editHowdy, MercuryJee, I see this is your first article on this account. So I don't want you to panic when you see what happens with your article. I'd like to try setting it up with some very basic material I think has a chance of meeting the encyclopedia-type requirements for being posted on the site. Then your more sophisticated urban planning / social engineering approach can get added in its own sections.
It's great that you've jumped right in with a full article! As you're discovering, it can take a few tries before you get the hang of the style that folks have worked out here. I hope you don't get discouraged, and that you might also consider trying some smaller projects. If you look at some related topics and clean up the writing style a bit, or add a few links to help verify information, it's a real service. Trilliumz (talk) 22:58, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
- Well darn, didn't get it going quick enough. You can find it sitting in my sandbox if you want to keep working on it ... User:Trilliumz/Sandbox. If I get something pulled together based on your article I'll give you a holler. Again, sorry that this piece you put so much work in didn't stay up; and don't let this slow you down from contributing in other articles! Trilliumz (talk) 03:05, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
