[Wikipedia-l] Metacomments

[Poor, Edmund W]

Yeah, if anyone is going to _remove_ metacomments, I hope they edit them enough so that readers of the talk page will know what they refer to:
* this section needs work => the "no-trump" bidding convention needs work
* more should be written here => more should be written on how kids trade Pokemon cards

In general, avoid deletions that destroy information. We want to BUILD.

-I disagree. I don't know about the WikiProject references, but 'is this
-correct?' and 'more should be written about <whatever>' both seem
-valuable to me.

-I prefer an article which points out its weaknesses to one which
-glosses them over; I think it's more useful to the reader, as well as
-more encouraging to potential editors. I don't think there's anything
-unprofessional about work in progress.

-In general, if someone thinks its worth their while to add something to
-a page, I think it's best to give them the benefit of the doubt, even
-if it's something you wouldn't have added yourself.
