Forum:Alienation of new and IP users

After seeing more than once a declaration such as "Forum:Please delete me" not just in the forums but on talk pages, I thought we should discuss this.

To new editors and IP editors what would you like to see changed? Please though keep in mind such things as the protection policy is as about maintaining the integrity of the wiki's information, and prior to it we had a huge amount of vandalism following new stories.

I know we all make mistakes, admins as well (I think I've likely made thousands of mistakes). We need to learn and move on, or help the editors to understand their mistakes. Not all bad edits need undoing or reverting but simply may need editing to improve them. Rollbacks or undos might be easier, but may not improve the quality.

To admins how should we change how we're dealing with people, what else should we be doing to help? Are we too quick to hit the undo, rollback, protect, delete or Block buttons? Should policy be changed? --Tangerineduel / talk 14:50, May 6, 2011 (UTC)
