that doesn't mean your actual contributions were worthwhile a bad contribution can be salvaged but it's still a bad contribution you may have started over a thousand articles but most of those were still vague useless stubs that other people had to edit before they were worth keeping the fact that you still do this here and other places baffles me you say experience but most experience tends to lead to doing things better even more baffling is the fact that some of the stubs you create are about subjects on which you have shown an almost singular focus such as the unification church it's like leaving dirty laundry around to remind someone else to wash it maybe you could help your case by showing us how many things are on your deleted contributions list
