A big question that we are in the process of

first conception is
healthier and more productive over the long term.
We really should think
about this issue before we take broad actions
that
touch upon it.
It is true that from a strict efficiency point of
view, the goal of a comprenhensive and neutral
encyclopedia would benefit from dealing with issues in
only one central article with as many actors as
possible debating/working together rather than several
different articles with only a couple of persons in
each place, even though they are updating their own
articles from the other wikis.
