::::::Also, if one looks at how "normal" encyclopedias are produced, or for that matter just about any other kind of publishing project, the dicussions about the project usually heavily outweigh the actual finished product. I'd guess that for something like the Encyclopedia Britannica, the paperwork and correspondence would probably account for something like 90% of the final output, rather than the opposite. And there's a reason for that. What we're doing here is collaborative editing and publishing, and whenever something is done collaboratively, by a team, good and frequent communications between the participants is absolutely essential. This 10/90 rule may seem like a good idea on the surface, but in the end, it will only result in articles of much lower quality. [[User:AKjeldsen|AKjeldsen]] 11:54, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

:::::: Agreed with CP Admin. Due to the nature of my work I tend to contribute almost solely to talk pages (as in I don't have as much time to devote to producing a coherent article from the ground up, etc..). Besides, I'd rather see the information hashed out in the talk pages than an all out "edit war" happen. [[User:Hengineer|Hengineer]] 04:46, 25 April 2007 (EDT)
