Should posting articles based on obvious edits of existing articles (including notes indicating such) be encouraged, or discouraged? As an example, I had written up a rewrite of the Same-sex marriage in the United States article as ‘Polymarriage in the United States’, moved all dates forward 50 years, changed some of the case names… and then I realized I couldn’t really tell if it was what snarles had in mind, or if he wanted more originality.

II think that should be OK—if you clearly indicate thus. And link the original.
