WP:RETENTION: These editors are willing to lend a helping hand. Just ask!
Editors are as important as content. Without them there are no contributions. Without contributions the Encyclopedia grows stagnant. Editor retention is the concern and proactive effort of retaining contributors, including those who leave for various reasons. Part of retaining editors is to demonstrate/illustrate best practices and the editors that use them, guide editors with questions to the best venues and connect users for their specific needs with those best able to assist.
