→I created a few stub articles but those are the exceptions that prove the rule
I created them to assist readers in terms of the [[Atheism and intelligence]] article. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 22:16, 19 September 2014 (EDT)

:Cons, why are you defending something no one has accused you of? Have I accused you of writing stubs?
:As far as the budgie comment is concerned: if I were to write a further 200 words on the subject it would either be from my own knowledge of the little bird (can't have that these days can we? - not post Markman) or I would have to turn the article into something resembling a field guide. I don't consider the budgie article a stub. It gives a succinct, no frills, account of what the bird is from the point of view of someone who knows the bird, has kept the bird and has a 50 year familiarity with its habits both domestically as a single bird and in its thousands in the wild.
:And a further 200 words would only bring the article up to 450 words or thereabouts.
:And while I have you..... I am afraid Joey may have taken your 600 words comments literally and is casting about for places to put "stubs" without having the knowledge to do it correctly. I came across [[Pride's Purge]]. He plonked it into [[Oliver Cromwell]]. Now I know that, whatever other bastardry Cromwell did, he had nothing to do with purging the Parliament of the King's supporters. He was on the road when it happened and I have recollections of his feeling somewhat aggrieved when he found out about it on his arrival in London. I'll have no trouble changing the edit when I have time to delve into my library but I needn't have to.
:He is also taking "suggestions" as requests. Hence Dumbarton. (Which I will add to in my inimitable style when I have time.)
