I like all the 'NEW!! proposals' you suggested for new authors @alexs1320 :)
The observation you made about the 'wiki-rephrased' posts is an important one. I wonder why those who go for that writing style are shying away from putting more thought into their work.

Best.
Thank you for the encouragement :)
Concerning the "easy-Wiki-money", it's probably something you could explain better.
