Hoi,
You are making your problem the problem of others.You have to recognize that
your ideas are not universally shared. You also do not find anywhere
substantiation of your point of view. The aim of our projects is to provide
information, as long as this is what they do, we can agree that we want to
have a high standard everywhere and we can all work on improving this
standard.
PS Thank you for nominating the thread of Wikipedia for this week.
Thanks,
GerardM

I am not sure if this is the right place and
time, but I am using the
opportunity to advertise what I believe is the solution for problems of
this kind. It's called Data Extension and could be seen at
http://www.rastko.net/~nikola/ <http://www.rastko.net/%7Enikola/> .
With it, it is possible to effectively have articles about various
topics
similar to bot-generated articles without them
actually being in the
database. It is possible to kickstart a small Wikipedia by translating a
handful of templates. And, it is possible to further expand the
articles,
as it is with bot generated articles.
I like people "just do things" but please do not "kickstart" small
Wikipedias
with template translation. It is that: A painfull kick in the ... of the
people.
I simply don't want to sit in the same boat with people that think a bot
generated article is useful. I don't want to sit in the same boat with
projects that don't have the patience to grow sustainable.
If further small Wikipedias are starting to cheat like vo.wp I can
guarantee
you that there will be a split of Wikipedias.
