Don't forget that you can "vouch" for an article or comment that you think was unfairly flagged. From the FAQ:
> If you see a [dead] post that shouldn't be dead, you can vouch for it. Click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click 'vouch' at the top. When enough users do this, the post is restored. There's a small karma threshold before vouch links appear.
That's a great reminder, thank you!
I should revisit the guidelines and the FAQ sometime.
