I've read this (the whole series); it applies to marketers etc who want to "push" information on to readers and not to an academic entity where readers come to _get_ information. The style of an encyclopedia should be scholarly, more like a book than a brochure.
Nonetheless several of the ideas in those articles are general and would apply to us as well, such as express only one idea per paragraph.
