Many Wikipedia editors are not able to rise above dictionary thinking, it often appears. Uncomprehending what "an encyclopedic treatment" might entail, they keep busy by breaking information into such small fragments they no longer make sense. This is quite a good example, concocted from a redirect to Itylus. --Wetman06:01, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
In some regards you're right, but I think one good thing about what you say is this: if people add sources/citations, there can be compiled a fair amount of source material, and then someone can come along and turn the fragments into a good article. I write on here a lot, but a lot of the time, one source that I have only tells a small fraction of the story, and more sources and angles are needed. Fragments and bits don't make a good article, but they're a good starting point. JW (talk) 13:21, 12 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
