[WikiEN-l] Game-playing on Wikipedia

I dont see how this comment about Checkers, from the Department of Fun  page, 
helps to build an encyclopedia:
 
"Play checkers at Wikipedia and reduce your stress. No editing, patrolling,  
or anything else is allowed during this time!"
 
This is not at all what the Department of Fun was intended to be. It was a  
tool to help build an encyclopedia. It was never intended as a tool to keep  
people from editing, as this statement clearly asserts.
