this restriction in place, the articles can be subjected to more thorough rating cycles than one with hundreds of articles thus improving rating efficiency and quality.

(6) ALLOW AUTHORS TO DELETE THEIR POORLY RATED ARTICLES: At present there is no provision for authors to delete their articles. If people are given the chance to remove their low ranked articles, it will only help in improving the quality of Helium.

I know pretty well that all my articles are not of top quality. Given a chance, I would like to at least delete 10 to 15 percent of them. They are the ones for which I have not earned a single penny and I am not inclined to spend time in improving and leapfrogging them.

Let us say, if this option is given and say 15 to 20% of lowest ranked articles get deleted from Helium. It is only going to improve Helium's quality and image. You will now have 15 to 20% less articles in the stock which is going to improve Rating efficiency in Helium.

(5) WEED OUT NON-REMUNERATIVE AND OLD TITLES: Do a massive weeding out of old, over burdened and non-remunerative titles from Helium's end. Let no rating time is wasted on account of addition of any new article or new leapfrog in such titles. Of course, Helium is already doing this exercise once in a while.

What does Helium want ultimately? Good quality articles that give useful information to readers or a large junk-store of articles which many do not read anyway? Make Helium leaner and healthier. It is one good way of improving Helium's quality and image.
