Sorry for my ill-tempered tone earlier.
Second, this is what I would suggest and I will explain why below:
1. Use this free tool to make it easy to create 400+ word articles: http://www.wordcounttool.com/ Your article was about 150 words long. This website is competing against other articles for people's attention and so keeping this standard will help this website better compete. Also, if you look at the search engine results, you will generally see the search results are at least 400 words long in length. For example, see the search results for the word momentum here: [https://www.google.com/search?q=momentum&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&safe=high Search results for the word momentum] and [http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=momentum&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz35 More search results for the word momentum]. The articles are significantly over 150 words long.
People want longer articles that are at least 400 words. The search engines know this. That is why these type of articles are in the search engine results. So instead of creating three 150 word articles, write one article that is about 400 words or more. If a wiki has more search engine results, more traffic will be generated. If more traffic is generated, then more people will tend to sign up as editors.
Try to write articles that show up first in the search engines. Endeavor to do your best when writing an article. The Apostle Paul said, "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but {only} one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win." (1 Corinthians 9:24).
2. If you use a quote, always cite it as students want a resource they can readily use and their teachers expect them to cite their sources for quotes. Here is a good format to use as it clearly shows the quotations around the quote plus cites the source of the quote: http://www.conservapedia.com/Socialism#Obama_administration_and_land_ownership
Thanks for not responding in anger to my talk page post. I was planning to erase it. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 11:34, 8 October 2013 (EDT)
