How many articles _should_ Wikipedia have? Step back, think a minute about that question. If there was some magic way to immediately have each and every deserving article that was and could be written from what *you*personally* consider reliable sources (currently, as of this instant, extant ones), that was verifiable... ...all that, and furthermore could _in_theory_ be maintained NPOV by the tender loving care of an infinite, nay transfinite, number of shallowing eyes, and could (again, in theory) be written encyclopaedically, even if the only one with the necessary expertise happens to be an illiterate but dedicated self-pigeonholed expert... ...in short if all the natural restraints of raw manpower and human limitations of ability were for one instant magically extinguished, but what only remained was the standards you think wikipedia should set itself, now, at this time, with the sources we have and the knowledge already contained in them... ...then; I ask you what is the number of articles you think wikipedia should have? A billion? 4 million (over twice we have now)? 20 million? What? -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen, ~ [[User:Cimon Avaro]]
