encyclopedias (technically) we need to enter "phase
2" of (En-)Wikipedia's
development, which is structuring, merging,
improving etc. the existing
material. Maybe even removing links to non-existent
articles in some cases
(e.g. album titles) to discourage creation of
database-like stubs. Of
course there are still huge gaps in our coverage (as
is, the article about
Catholicism doesn't even mention the Vatican), but
many if not most of the
essential topics have at least stub articles.
There should be a WikiProject for this phase 2
effort with clear
guidelines and goals. I encourage you to start this
WikiProject if you
have the time and motivation to do so. I suggest the
name "WikiProject
Patchwork".

Sounds good, but it shouldn't be called "phase 2".
Much of our content development is still incomplete.
We should focus on content development, and do
WikiProject Patchwork as a side project.
