The  mission is to write an encyclopedia, right, not a scandal sheet?  
The  disagreements I see aren't really about the term "encyclopedic".  >>



-----------------
Well is an encyclopedia simply based on bland statements?  Or all  reported 
statements from reliable sources?  Are you calling the New York  Times, the San 
Francisco Chronicle, the Washington Post.  Are you calling  these scandal 
sheets?  If we re-report them saying that President Clinton  apparently had an 
affair with Paula Jones, even if it embarrasses him, even if  it's defamatory, 
even if it's controversial.... are we engaging in  "scandal"?  Or are we 
engaging in reporting of material that may be  negative.
