I disagree that the goal is to get an encyclopedia
written. The goal is
to
produce an encyclopedia that is as useful as possible to the biggest set
of
people possible. Taking small steps to make the reference more usable in
schools and work-places is consistent with that goal.
Deciding which images might deserve a spoiler warning
is no more a
violation
of NPOV than deciding what fact is important enough to include, or
deciding
what reference is worthy enough to cite. All of these are judgement
calls.
We will continue to debate them for as long as the project is editable, no
doubt.
The archives of this list will show the continuing consensus in favour of
Getting the Encyclopedia Written, with the smart-aleck ideas that the
process can be fine-tuned falling away in the face of the sheer fact that It
Is Being Written, and its content reflects pretty much a consensus view of
those who are doing the work.
