That is very useful as an attempt at bridging the approaches to encyclopaedia building. So just for the benefit of people joining us lately, but keeping things to the issue at hand rather than getting diverted... There is no link. But there is a grasping hand that wants to link, and wikipedia does not do that for things that are not working. The whole idea of making a "structure" around how you "approve" (or "reify" or whatever) an edit is the nucleus of the issue. It has failed, it will fail and no amount of trying to push on a string will make it succeed. -- -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen, ~ [[User:Cimon Avaro]] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
