Krzysztof-
I have just looked at last 1000 new articles and I
have found not
only one sentence articles but also 3 word articles.
We had a long discussion on wikipedia-l about how and when articles should
be merged. I believe now that we have more articles than most paper
encyclopedias (technically) we need to enter "phase 2" of (En-)Wikipedia's
development, which is structuring, merging, improving etc. the existing
material. Maybe even removing links to non-existent articles in some cases
(e.g. album titles) to discourage creation of database-like stubs. Of
course there are still huge gaps in our coverage (as is, the article about
Catholicism doesn't even mention the Vatican), but many if not most of the
essential topics have at least stub articles.
There should be a WikiProject for this phase 2 effort with clear
guidelines and goals. I encourage you to start this WikiProject if you
have the time and motivation to do so. I suggest the name "WikiProject
Patchwork".
The majority that was disgusted with my
Wikipedia:Always make articles as
complete as possible article view it as something that undermines the very
nature of Wikipedia. And my intention was well-meant.
I agree with you. That's why I hacked Special:Ancientpages together in the
first place. I hope it will help in improving our existing material.

Erik
