Which is the lesser evil - having a Wikipedia with a few, temporary imperfections or not having a Wikipedia at all? Though one, isn't it?
Or more neutrally:
Which is the lesser evil - A) having a Wikipedia with a few, temporary problems or B) restricting a community to creating content in the Incubator until the few, temporary problems are solved?
And honestly the answer depends on what temporary turns out to be. I would ask everyone how long of time is acceptable to try and solve these problems with the oversight and help of LangCom before cutting the Incubator apron strings and expecting the new community to work the answers out on their own? It is obvious from the this thread that many people think that taking five months to solve such problems tips the scale towards A being the lesser evil. But what about 3 months or 1 month, which is the lesser evil at those points? What are the benchmarks that we need to look for to evaluate which is the lesser evil?
I think it obvious that people of both different opinions care about these new communities and believe their position is the best one for the benefit of the new wikis. However the attempts to shut down or show up those that one disagrees with does nothing further a solution or bring new insight to the problem that we all understand to exist.
