"n: rules or conditions generally: a section, paragraph, or head: a literary composition in a newspaper, periodical, encyclopaedia, etc., the treating of a subect distinctly and independently." - Chambers Concise 20th Century Dictionary.
I think that a good 80% of the articles here conform to that definition in one way or another. But there are some that do not treat subjects distinctly and independently. Ones reading, for example "i'm gonna make some more games" or "the daily click is gonna die. any thoughts?" Not really distinctly treating a subject, is it?
If you wanna write an article, write it about something useful that will benefit everyone. Otherwise, you'll just be wasting peoples time and will start to look like an idiot.
There are some decent forums on this site which you can ask for opinions in or announce your arrival/departure. Save articles for FACTUAL stuff about GAMES, be it guides to designing, drawing or coding. Leave opinions out, unless they are relevant.
The articles section should be like a massive library, which klickers, both new and not so new, can go to and FIND OUT something. Let's make the articles section more comprehensive. The best klicking library on the net, perhaps?
