== Gentle suggestion for new accounts interested in I/P articles ==
If you want to edit I/P articles and don't meet the standards set by the Arbitration Committee for that subject area (30-day account age + 500 edits), go to the article talk page and do an [[Wikipedia:Edit requests|edit request]]. There is an [[Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard/Protected|Edit Request Wizard]] that you can use (link is to the button "The page is protected")
Don't email to ask me to do the edit for you. I won't reply, and I won't comply with your request. I will refer you to the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee|Arbitration Committee]]. I don't know who you are, and for all I know, you may be trying to get me in trouble.
Note to myself. These are the templates used for I/P welcomes for IP users not acquainted with the rules:
:::<nowiki>{{subst:welcome-arbpia}} ~~~~</nowiki>
:::{{pb}}
:::<nowiki>{{subst:alert/first|a-i}} ~~~~</nowiki>

* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:GettingStarted Special:Getting Started]. It is a list of articles in obvious trouble that even beginners can fix. I've found some instances where the articles are so bad they really shouldn't be in Wikipedia at all. Editing these articles results in a tag branding the editor as a "beginner getting started," but you can avoid that by copying and pasting the URL of the articles listed there.
Line 461 ⟶ 480:
*[[:Category:Articles with a promotional tone]] is a good start. I also sometimes look at articles categorised there (or that have been [[Wikipedia:G11|G11]]'d) and search for particularly spammy snippets, such as "You can purchase" or "our website" (sometimes you come across a phrase that uncovers a goldmine of crap). You can also simply click through categories like [[:Category:American companies established in 1997]] to uncover non-notable topics. Those are just a few suggestions, none of them astoundingly efficient, and there are probably better ways.

Good essay on hatting: [[Wikipedia:Superhatting]]. Note "the nuclear dunk," which of course can be phrased far more politely. My thanks to [[User:Salomeofjudea]] for bringing it to my attention.
