Dear Ashwin,


You may recall our talk regarding this topic during WCI2011 venue.

It seems somehow you have got the notion that developement of Wikipedia is all about creation of new articles and edits on a day to day basis.

I must completely disagree.

If you disagree, then you misunderstand the purpose of Wikipedia.  Wikipedia is a community of users that work to improve and expand upon the existing works on the project.  The purpose of activity on Wikipedia is to generate well-written and researched articles, not to have people come over and play games as if it were an MMORPG.

See [[Wikipedia:Esperanza]] and its deletion discussions for reference.  PINQ no longer serves the purpose for which it was created, and it is nothing more than a gameboard.
