Frank's proposal

I think the main reason why many do not edit in WP and other of its sister's project is because of the community itself. Articles written by new users or perhaps registered by an IP address are usually checked again and edit thoroughly compared to articles written by frequent users. There seems to be discrimination and bias in editing articles.

For example, on Wikinews, article written by new users aren't publish directly as they will be check again. If the subject is not suitable, the article is deleted without any acknowledgment to them.

It is the perception in existing users that matters as it affects new users.
