All, When we did "The Big Delete" in January, we were left with bunches of articles that were from Wikipedia, tagged for example with [[Category:Philosophy Workgroup (Top)]], but otherwise completely untouched. There are also articles that someone made a tiny spelling correction to back in November, and which have never been touched since. There are articles marked "CZ Live" by someone who just happened to think he'd work on it--two months ago--and then never did, and otherwise is just a copy of a Wikipedia article. These articles are diluting the database, so they should be deleted--especially since we can always upload the latest Wikipedia version. There is other "cruft," e.g., from vandals, that is cluttering the article database. This also needs to be deleted.
The result will be a more honest representation of what we've done. Also, if we do a good job with this deletion, we can then remove "CZ Live" tags from our active articles, because all articles that are in our database will be CZ Live!
