I've read this (the whole series); it applies to marketers
etc who want to "push" information on to readers and not to
an academic entity where readers come to _get_ information.
The style of an encyclopedia should be scholarly, more like
a book than a brochure.
Nonetheless several of the ideas in those articles are
general and would apply to us as well, such as express only
one idea per paragraph.
