one specialized encyclopedia.
The need for such a separation for wikibased encyclopedias has not
been demonstrated.
In the past people have attempted to apply social network metrics to
determine our scaling potential. However, it would appear that the
work on Wikipedia is already self-segmenting (i.e. people who care to
write about football are unaffected by people writing about physics)
and that the only real shared resource is the article title namespace,
from which we've seen few difficulties .
