I've deleted about 50 or so articles, does that count?

Arlo Guthrie tells a story about how his wife told him she had cleaned up a stack of magazines in the garage. The next day, he says "I was in the garage, and those magazines weren't 'cleaned,' they're _gone._" His wife replies, "Well, you can't get much cleaner than 'gone.'"
Like the apocryphal story of Michelangelo saying "I just cut away everything that didn't look like David," the negative space of deleted articles shapes the positive space that looks like an encyclopedia.
