I can't say I care that much. US politics is surely too much covered
on WP (but not in terms of its importance); i.e. turgidity rules.
Yes, there should be more on Kant. Let's have it, please. (I can
claim to have started the [[neo-kantianism]] article, not that I have
the slightest expertise).
I kan't say that I support the notion that an excess of articles on US
politics is an adequate excuse for having no more, but then I tend to
resist turgid pronouncements. ;-) That dosn't mean that Cant articles
aren't valuable either.
The only real way to deal with the phenomenon of
'bloat', I think, is
not to change any basic rules - that ought to be resisted, policy
should not be driven by the hard cases. Tough edit followed by
'respite' protection of a month, I'd support.
Speaking of plucking the peacock's feathers ...
