further information section[edit]

I am going to delete this section. It's completely pointless and redundant. Wikipedia policies and essays should be brief and to the point, and should not have any "fluff". It doesn't contain any relevant information, and the hardly-useful info that it does contain is a repeat of something previously mentioned, or it is completely self-evident. Specifics:

Everything that is blue above can be clicked on and will take you to pages with further information.

This is self-evident. How do you think the person even got to this place in the first place? If they were new to the internet and don't understand how links work, do you think they just hopped on the wikipedia homepage and then typed "WP:SURVIVALKIT"??

The relevant pages that will help you find your feet in Wikipedia are also listed below."

Do you think the person will assume that the list of links are for irrelevant pages?

With a bit of luck, it will all work out, and you will make some friends here!

This is the only part I see as useful in any way. However, a section with a single sentence (which is 99.9% pointless) is not a good idea. Perhaps it should be moved to a different section, such as the lede?

I'm going to ahead and figure that out, and then I am going to delete the section. Please discuss here. Charles35 (talk) 04:14, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
