http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Debeo_Morium/Chats Please don't run off and do something based on reading this. That would be a bit unfair. But is that a good example of the sort of thing Charles was talking about or not? Is that "community" or "blogging" or "chatting" or "encyclopedia building"?>> ----- These "chat" links don't have any content however. To me it seems just like a person had their hand slapped for "chatting" in some article, and so decided to explore a new avenue for article building. I don't find this sort of thing to interfere with my own use or editing of the project. In fact it seems commendable that someone would have the creativity to think of something like this (even though it didn't go anywhere). We should encourage the use of the project in new ways that are *potentially* helpful, even if no one else has thought of them before. We don't want to become static. The project should give free rein to new ideas, let them play out, and see where they lead and *then* rein in ideas that are abusive. One-offs, partials, dead links... aren't abusive.
