Well.
I am looking at the entry on "List of 7th Heaven Episodes". Author mentions:
"What was that, code? What the hell is this show about? We can't stress this
enough, there are 29,601 words in this entry and not one of them gives us
the slightest clue as to why even one person felt the need to devote that
much thought to it. Sure, it ran for 11 years. But *The Simpsons* has been
on for 19 seasons and its
entry**<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_simpsons>is only a fourth as
long."
Now author omits the fact that individual Simpson's episodes have articles
on them and is actually longer. Now guess what I found! You guessed right
TTN:
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=And_Away_We_Go_%287th_Heaven%29&a…
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tit_for_Tat_%287th_Heaven%29&…
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Some_Break_Ups_and_Some_Get_Toget…
etc... etc.. (more examples exist for the same show, I do not care to list
any more)
Over the time article was barred from any info regarding the plot (content)
of the show as visible in the current version unlike the old version:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_7th_Heaven_episodes&o…
<sarcasm>
The second we have people on the internet that complains about the extensive
coverage on a topic we should race to remove as much info as possible rather
than expand other similar articles. Imagine extensive coverage on fiction
related topics! Surely thats not something we want.
I would also recommend "a court order forbidding anyone from adding to, and
thereby further ruining, the Star Wars franchise".
</sarcasm>
