New users don't know that the A with a pencil means Wysiwyg editor. This icon is completely unfamiliar and is not discoverable because there is no textual label nor does the image even look like it is clickable.

I would suggest one of two options: Add an item to the drop down list for each content type that allows the rich editor so that they are duplicated, one with and one without wysiyg enabled (i.e. Raw text (rich text enabled) | Raw text)

Or adding a checkbox next to the drop down so that when the "go" button is clicked the wysiwyg is enabled or not.

I'm sure there are other options available, these are just the first two that come to mind. Both would be a little easier to use and would lower the barrier to entry for new users.
