Hi, Adam. I know you're in a rush to reply to various parties here, but
could you avoid top-posting? It makes it hard on readers, and as a
correspondent it means I have to do more cleanup to reply to one of your
posts.
On to your point.

Not everything in the "Encyclopedia of Sequential
Art" belongs in Wikipedia.
Ok.
Would you mind fleshing that out for me? I've just leafed through a
couple special-purpose reference works I have around. I'm not seeing an
obvious dividing line between topics. What would you leave out from
special-purpose encyclopedias? If possible, I'd like a rule that applies
to the Encyclopedia of Western Philosophy just as well as the
Encyclopedia of Fashion Accessories.
It's also be great if you could ground your rule in some practical
reason why it's bad.
Thanks,
William
