Should I remove it?
Once it is published, I believe that deleting really only removes the links to it from the various post feeds. But do take it as a learning experience.
Well, at least I've got enough of a buffer to try again.
I always try to. So long as we're on the subject, any tips on top-level post subject selection and formatting?
Edit: I spoke too soon.
My preferences for top level posts, which seem to be a higher standard than the community average, is that they should present some novel insight into a relevant topic, and reflect some research into previous work on the topic; or that they offer a deep review of a relevant work external to Less Wrong.
Bear in mind that those with lower standards will make more top-level posts.
Do you mean to imply I am underestimating the community average standard? I was basing my assessment on karma scores on posts I consider low quality, not so much on what people decide to post.
Good point - I still think it is relevant to note that those with low standards will be more willing to post, but given that your evidence is independent, the "bear in mind" is unwarranted.
My default place to write something is the Open Thread or a comment on a relevant post. It's only if I realize that an idea needs to be a top-level post (because it's too important and not found elsewhere in a post, or because it's a lengthy development of a key idea) that I make it into one.
As you can see from my two articles, this may be too strict a standard, but I think it's in the right direction relative to the median.
