Something else I just realized: if people want to turn your new article
into a REDIRECT or just delete it entirely, maybe it should merely be a
_section_ of another article.

Or you may have bitten off more than you can chew - as I did this week
with the evolution-creation controversy. At first I got mad and counted
off my reversions up to the 3RR limit - even started an RFC! But then I
realized that one of the 20th Century's top issues can't be summarized
so easily. It was like trying to eat an entire roast ox in one mouthful!

By the way, thanks to Guettarda and others who helped me see the size
(and some of the shape) of the topic.
