[edit] Wikipedia philosophy

Userboxes This user does not understand mean people. Please be nice. even This editor is an eventualist. incl This editor is an inclusionist. incr This editor is an incrementalist.

You can see from my user boxes on the right that I support the notion that Wikipedia articles can be built up over time and need not be complete in their first instance.

I need to make a rant here: I have been affronted by, what I consider to be, the sheer arrogance of some moderators who have felt it appropriate to flag articles for deletion - in one case within 16 minutes of my creating it, and while - as the history showed - I was still working on it! Please! Let us have some common sense here.

In fact, I think these moderators should re-familiarise themselves with the official Wikipedia editing policy which is clear that a compelling advantage of Wikipedia over traditional media is its ability to have incrementally-developed articles.

Thank you :) Now let us work together to make Wikipedia a brilliant repository of all knowledge.
