Hogwash. Unless you intend to stop the flow of time and the recording
of history, there will be no "end" to the work needed at Wikipedia.
Oh, but eventually the sciences will be covered! Or will they? Our
pace of scientific discovery hasn't been slowing, it's been
accelerating.
I was talking about the act of writing. While rewriting is a vital
part of writing, the author eventually reaches a final draft. Unless
you enjoy struggling through an endless cycle of rough drafts covered
with interlinear insertions & corrections -- which Wikipedia often
resembles -- you will eventually come to an end point in your writing.
I have *no* idea how you came up with your interpretation of what I
said; I never claimed to say what you are ranting against. I can only
assume you have confused my email for someone else's.
