User talk:Gopher65

If people are going to be rude and delete articles that other people have spent hours researching and writing, there needs to be clear guidelines and policies about exactly what is and is not appropriate on Wikinews. Not a single individual who commented in either the RfD or the article's talk page gave made mention of "types of articles", nor did they point out any guidelines I could use (despite my requests). They also refused to answer my questions at both the RfD and on the talk page: Essentially, it seems like no one made any effort to help me out. Needless to say, I will not write another article at Wikinews (and will discourage others from doing the same), until I have received a promise that things have changed. To be honest, I've never seen such apathy and rudeness from a "consensus group" on any Wikimedia project before (or after), and I've been around Wikipedia for years (and have seen some fairly intense disputes). (To help clarify: My qualm is not with whether or not the article should ultimately have been published, but how the entire situation was handled.)
