Talk:David Vetter
I have written a few articles and here's something I noticed. When you write stubs they tend to stay that way very long, until they get noticed by somebody else and grown. But then when you contribute with a long article, althought many reviewers makes a lot of small contributions the total text stays basically the same. In neither occasion the text actually evolves to a full grown colaborative write-up. In some cases, articles too big will tend to stay with structural errors. That happened to my first article, Oscar Niemeyer, that has a lot of language faults (mainly because english is not my mother tongue) that are still there because nobody got the trouble to fix it all. (One wikipedian rule is always left something to be done)
This article is an experiment. I wrote a relatevely big article about what I consider an interesting theme but left out gaps on purpose to be filled by other contributors. I am curious to see what it will look like when it grows.

It's too bad that you left the article incomplete. I would complete it except that I don't know anything about David Vetter and searched his name in order to find out more about him. There are a few problems with the grammer, which I will try to fix. Maryevelyn 10/28/04

What are those obvious reasons? --Alexandre Van de Sande 03:08, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- This also should be taken off did you know. An article should only be written if things are KNOWN about the subject, and not a fill-in-the-blank skeleton like Mad Libs. Mike H 03:11, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
