Your line was great: A lot of horrible articles are rewritten regularly and removed from VfD because there's pressure to delete them.  '''That's good just like having polar bears eat cute baby seals is good.''' :)

Thanks for reverting. There are more user 68.19.46.85 has vandalised. My problem is that I have not figured out how to revert. Could you give a hint. I'll take it from there [[User:Vanderesch|Andrew]]

VfD is also about when to delete. Five days is too little time for a newbie to get through the initial learning hurdles, particularly when changes of problematic behavior are needed. Which means I'll almost always vote against deleting those things, because it's too soon to give up on the article. If they learn or change, it's worth keeping, if they don't, it isn't. Unless someone else chooses to work on it and make it worth keeping during the VfD time(contracted; show full)th keeping depends on whether the newbie will stick around and improve it or not. Titles don't usually bother me because they can be moved to something suitable easily enough. I think that the chance of the king staying around and being productive is less than 30%, likely lower than that - but I also think that we should do what we can to avoid treating him roughly, to maximize the chance of the positive outcome. Thanks for looking over the VfD text. [[User:JamesDay|JamesDay]] 10:47, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)
