Your draft[edit]

I have an editor whose help I ask for in difficult cases. Asking him for help is a two edged sword, because he rips out 100% of the fluff from a draft, often leaving a skeleton. That can hurt people's feelings. I agree with you that other eyes are needed, and I would like a reviewer more experienced than I am to be the arbiter of acceptance. I know whom to suggest for that, too. The question is, are you ready?

Time, that is a commodity that we have as an encyclopaedia. We are not a news outlet. We report what others find notable. So take time, find eyes you trust who will give you opinions yo may not want to hear, and move steadily forward. Fiddle Faddle 16:57, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
