The mission is to write an encyclopedia, right, not a scandal sheet? The disagreements I see aren't really about the term "encyclopedic". >>
----------------- Well is an encyclopedia simply based on bland statements? Or all reported statements from reliable sources? Are you calling the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Washington Post. Are you calling these scandal sheets? If we re-report them saying that President Clinton apparently had an affair with Paula Jones, even if it embarrasses him, even if it's defamatory, even if it's controversial.... are we engaging in "scandal"? Or are we engaging in reporting of material that may be negative.
