All I was suggested was that we apply basic professional standards to this project. Semi-literature articles, no matter how much quality information they contain, do no justice to the people who contribute them and the work they put into them, and risks turning a supposed professional encyclopædia into a laughing stock. I made my suggestion based on the professional needs of a professional
encylopædia,
and resent having my motivation twisted and misrepresented in the manner done by Stevertigo.

Well, I already twice made mention that I had misunderstood you - so you dont need to spike the ball on that. Secondly - this is not a professional encyclopedia.
The assumption that there are standards beyond what reasonable people could produce is fine for an lofty pie-in-the-sky ideology - but what counts is what gets done. I'd also point out that you *might want to visit the Nupedia for an hour and read all of their articles. The whole idea there was the imposition of "academic standards" - and look where its got them.... Nuf Said. :)
