Great stuff, but on the BBC News article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-38219838 we find "How to create a new profile on Wikipedia" This is really about article creation for new biographic entries. If this is a living person, then one of the most difficult starting points for a new editor. I would think of "new profile" as being a User page. So, going live with a new article and then facing a rapid deletion request is hardly constructive. No mention of a sandbox.... for example. There should be explicit links to extant help, tutorials and other instruction.
