Hi all;
I have written an essay (my first one)[1] about the idea "There is a deadline". It is opposite to the old essay (from 2006) which holds that there is no deadline.
I hope my redaction is good enough to explain my opinion about this topic. Please, if you find errors, fix them, I'm not very fluent in English. Thanks.
Regards, emijrp

Nice essay!

Nice, thanks for it and kuddos for spotting this contradiction with WP:DEADLINE :). I added the collapse of the Köln Archiv to show that it's not just war, revolution or natural catastrophe...
Cheers,
Delphine
Thanks for your kind words and fixes : )

So this combined with http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal:Digital_Archaeology means that those 4560AD excavations will provide material for philologists who will study interpolations to reconstruct missed literature of our centuries (just like ancient manuscripts nowadays)?

Wow, excellent text. The only downside to stating that there is a deadline is that there is a lot of pressure, which might not be good.
I like the fact that this dispells the myth that we are "finished" in any sense.
