I love a good metaphor! You're absolutely right, writing articles about very general topics is very difficult. I think the problem comes in trying to balance breadth, depth and conciseness. There isn't an obvious solution - it just needs someone with the right talents to devote a significant amount of time and effort to it. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
