The Britannica in its paper editions (RIP) used to come in three divisions, a single volume Propaedia, the Micropaedia which gave summary information, and the Macropaedia which had extensive articles. It didn't seem to do it any harm over the years. However it should be made very obvious to readers when they are reading a beginning summary article that there is more available, otherwise Citizendium is selling itself short. >Have a great day and vote even if its raining where you are as it is here! Odd, I got to the Church Hall and they didn't know anything about an election. We did have one in May and I won. -- David Boothroyd - http://www.election.demon.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (council) _______________________________________________ Citizendium-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l
