[WikiEN-l] Article specific blocks

[David Goodman]

It really has to go by topic, not article, for full effectiveness, so
probably human enforcement is unavoidable. But being able to do it by
article as an alternative or supplement would a/ serve as a reminder &
  b/add a degree of impersonality to enforcement which may be a help
sometimes
