Hi everyone, please check this out: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Double-O
I tagged it as “nfd|inc” but my point is how a person would even have a nerve to create this primitive. LOL I wonder if they have ever read any materials on wikiHow about how to write the GOOD quality articles. Amazing to me. To be a good write one must invest some heart and mind too. Here were none.

haha agreed…but I did learn how to do something I didn’t know before:)XD
Like what @Mdk3442
?
What are you talking about? I could only NFDed.

What’s more confusing is the two legitimate edits she made afterwards.
True. I saw them, Teresa.
I do not think it should be nominated for deletion for joke topic. it may be incomplete or a stub. It should be NFDed for obv?? (nfd|obv). This is my humble opinion.

We don’t have an {{nfd|obv}} category, because obviousness is pretty subjective. An article on how to drive might seem obvious to a seasoned driver but very useful to a newbie. Our mission is to help anyone on the planet learn how to do anything. I’m pretty sure this comes under that. On the other hand, I think this a good time to paste in something I once heard someone say, here on wikiHow. "If a monkey can do it, we don’t need a wikihow article on it’’
This stuff in the article is waaaay to obvious and too primitive. An elephant when given a little training CAN draw it. We need some category created for it. If “prm” or “pri” is not good then come out with something better. I think this particular article about drawing “O” compromises quality of wikiHow. I really do. Thank you all guys for your feedbacks. Much appreciated.

agreed, there are articles as simple as opening a water bottle, How to Open a Bottle of Water: 4 Easy & Fast Methods
which would appear simple to you and me, but yet we allow it because this article should answer all questions, even articles on breathing might be acceptable because it doesn’t just mean breathing in and out, it could be breathing from your belly for theater. Maybe the article just needs to be expanded, and shows how to make the circle strait with a compass; and how to use a ruler to measure the smaller circle perfectly in the middle of the other one.
Sometimes we instantly delete this small articles because we think there unnecessary, but in reality they just need multiple ways and parts to be described in greater detail. I will see what I can do with that article… Thankyou Laura for bringing up this point about obvious articles!! ~~Dennis

I am currently editing it,
I think that there is no other way to rewrite this article. Why not add wikiPhoto images?

I have finished editing, and That is one of my favorite things to do on wikiHow is to work hard on short simple articles and make them awesome! If anyone can fix my formating in part 2 that would be great! I believe if we all work together, we can make this article into a work of art! It all starts with us, and if that user who really wanted to make his first article sees that it has grown so much, then I’m sure he will be sticking around wikiHow for a long time! But, if all of us assume bad faith, or feel simple articles like this have no purpose, He will instantly live this site like most people whose stuff gets destroyed do.
I think that would be great! We need to first fix this poor persons article, and “Jazz” it up:) Then We can send the request to have wiki Photo images, So what do you guys think? @Laura7491
?
Thanks to collaborative editing! The article is much better and I have placed the wikiPhoto request

Great!! Thanks guys:) Hey, does anyone know why Part 2 is all merged together? I cant seem to fix it
I did further more copyediting and formatting : http://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Make-a-Double-O&diff=13118724&oldid=13118465
I removed the “inc” because it’s no longer incomplete… and I’m pretty sure everyone agrees that it’s no longer joke, right?
Wow! Saved from being deleted to a high quality article. I edited it a little. Now waiting for the wikiPhoto imagesOnce it is done, this will be a super articleWell done, guys!
