The short block is down the line from warnings for incivility. I'm 
claiming we should expect POV-pushing from experts. So, unless it's 
not controversial, experts shouldn't edit articles! As long as the 
expert behaves, no problem. And experts sometimes have a lot to say. 
No harassment for writing too much. Ahem. But talk page refactoring, 
organization, lots of stuff to do....
