I like your idea of adopting the Economist house style, but a lot of kids
are taught in schools to write unimaginably long, tedious essays on quite
trivial subjects, so they have to learn how to trim out the waffle when
they
come to writing for real readers.
Is anything too trivial for Wikipedia, if it is to become "the sum of all
human knowledge"?
Subject wise? If it's verifiable, perhaps not. Too trivial for
inclusion in broader articles? Certainly.
For example, someone cut out the links to Bill Gates' home from the
Bill Gates article. Details of his home are trivial in the Bill Gates
article so cutting them out was probably the right thing to do, but
adding them back into Wikipedia elsewhere, in article about his home,
would be completely appropriate.
