[WikiEN-l] Tannin, it seems, has changed lots of articles

So who decides?
I assumed there was intended to be some sort of consensus, as when the 
present policy was agreed by all who participated. At present, the lineup appears to 
be a few people who, pace Vicki, do not make significant contribution to the 
fauna articles, whereas Kingturtle, Tannin, Steve Nova and myself are fairly 
happy with the present situation. This hardly seems a clear mandate for 
changing the current policy.

Personally, I think it will be a sad day if style triumphs over substance, 
and I can't help thinking we could all be better occupied creating and improving 
articles instead of revisiting a previously agreed policy, with the 
inevitable acrimony that tends to creep in.

There are huge numbers of American bird species that have no articles at all. 
Wouldn't it be better to write some instead of wasting time on the umpteenth 
regurgitation of  this topic?
