Forum:SH:Obstacles for new editors

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking of putting together an article for Wookieepedia NewsNet encouraging new users to join and start editing Wookieepedia. The main focus is going to be on some of the obstacles new users face --- difficult coding, confusing policies, dejection stemming from receiving warnings, etc. What I'd love to do is to have quotes/short anecdotes from various members of the community that share some tips and/or share a story of how they overcame an obstacle early in their editing days. If you'd be interested in helping out with this, just leave your two creds here, either sharing a personal story or giving a tip on facing what you think a particularly challenging obstacle is. I think this kind of article will benefit from having encouragement from numerous community members rather than just me. I'll probably just copy and paste what you write, so write something you want to be quoted. Menkooroo (talk) 19:54, July 27, 2012 (UTC)
