I should have said there are no good solutions.
This problem requires a
working solution, and we do have one.
And a working solution need not be a panacea. If it helps to solve some
problems it becomes a stepping stone to further solutions.
I would never claim our current solution is the final one. But we do need
to take the criticism of people like Scott McCloud with a grain of salt.
Pesonally I don't care whether webcomics are
included or not. I think it's
a shame that we have no articles on [[Dance in
China]] or [[Media of
China]], and [[Military of China]] and [[Tourism in China]] are just
stubs.
Those people who are doing a good job with
webcomics, by whatever
standard that sub-community sets, do so partly because the subject
interests them. If we ban webcomics articles outright they are more
likely to go away than to start writing scholarly articles about
China.. Very few of them would know anything about the subject.
No, of course not. I'm just saying we all have different priorities for
Wikipedia.
