I do not  think that the style of having our Derrida article consist  
primarily  of lengthy quotes from Derrida would pass  muster.

A good article imho is a mixture of quoted and paraphrased material.   
Personally I find biographies that have no quotes to be a bit dry.  I  really like 
to hear the subject speaking in their own words in my head, instead  of a bunch 
of so-called experts talking *about* the subject and not allowing  them to 
speak themselves.
 
So a good first stab at it, would be a mixture and then see where the  
community takes it after that.
 
The best defense is a good offense.  Be Bold.  Just do it.   Just say Yes to 
Drugs.
 
That last one just slipped in there, I don't know why.
