[WikiEN-l] Eschatology and Wikipedia

I have to disagree strongly with the calls for WYSIWYG editing, not
that it's likely to materialize anytime soon. Wikipedia needs to
encourage people to concentrate on meaningful content, not dick around
with cosmetic matters.

Inline citations seriously hamper editing, however, and ways of
keeping such clutter out of the edit box can and should be developed.
Doing so would help editors to concentrate on content.

I largely agree with most of Doc's other suggestions, and sadly agree
that it's too late to roll back the jargon. The time to  curb that
tendency was before the population explosion of 2005/2006.
