Everyone, I hope, recognizes that turning off article creation for a week would eliminate one of Wikipedia's well-recognized remarkable successes; that is, responding quickly and informatively to breaking news of import, from September 11 to the Indonesian tsunami to Nobel Prize winners.
This could be great for Wikinews, which is where breaking news of import should go nowadays anyway (especially if Wikipedia is going to just repeat false information without attribution, like it did in the [[Jean Charles de Menezes]] article)..
