I don't think that is entirely reasonable thing to say or do, but, on
the other hand, I wished that newcomers would be aware that creating new
articles from scratch is not the only way to help contribute to the
encyclopedia. Assuming that Wikipedia is still nowhere close to being
complete, there are always going to be opportunities to expand existing
articles - many of them that are still stubs. I don't know of any good
way in which to guide newcomers towards that direction, though,
especially in a "come-and-go"-type environment such as this.
