[Foundation-l] About the low hanging fruit

Strongly agree - they are very worthwhile indeed. They give others in future
the confidence to add incremental changes. A blank page is harder to broach.

What matters more is whether the article has scope to be encyclopedic.
Traditional encyclopedias often had one sentence or 2 line entries as well.
If the subject matter is valid, and there is something to say that makes an
entry useful, length is secondary, that can change over time.
