A good plan - it's very easy to get wrapped up in serious debate, but that takes away the enjoyment - and yet there are thousands of "fun" articles to add, noncontroversial content that is a necessary part of a comprehensive encyclopedia. In the space of eight months I've seen a bunch of heavy-duty contributors burn out and leave when the fighting overshadows content creation, so I think we need to watch out for signs of burnout and encourage each other to explore new and different areas that will be re-energizing to work on.
Not to mention -- that this is free and donated time. IOW - a hobby. When the rent checks start piling up, its best to put the vandal-chasing and the article arguing away for a while.
