New articles are the way the Wiki grows. However, each article needs to be well done. Every new article should have a strong backbone and outline for new editors to come in and add information, and articles that don't do this make it so much harder for people to contribute as a whole new outline must be done and the article is essentially scrapped. Or, long story short: It doesn't matter if you are the first to create an article. It matters if you are the first to create a GOOD article. Quality Over Quantity.
