And yes, I think 3. is a very bad idea - en:wp's greatest strength is its breadth of coverage. As I noted, de:wp seems to fit people's ideals of an encyclopedia more, but en:wp is actually more useful in any practical sense. 1. is an idea to be approached with profound caution - far too many BLP policy proposals get a bit close to throwing out neutrality, i.e. violating Wikipedia's greatest innovation in the encyclopedia space. This thread has a bit of an air of "something must be done, this is something, therefore we must do this." That is a logical fallacy. - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
