2009/1/3 Charles Matthews charles.r.matthews@ntlworld.com:
I think that is "could be", not "ought to be". The mission is not to maximise readership: as of early 2009, it still to "write the encyclopedia". You know, the old Wikipedia some of us have thought we are writing for a few years now.
As usual, there is the argument that if this other version of the mission was interesting enough to enough editors, they could fork. Not likely to happen, but it's a clarifying thought: really, how different would it be?

You are free to model a reverse of most of user:TTN's last few thousand edits to get some idea. In terms of complaints on forums and blogs I see if you ignore the complaints more focused what people want to write the loss of a significant chunk of our coverage of TV shows and various popular media is the most complained about.
