It is the section editing that ended the technical need to limit an article
to 32K using Internet Explorer. Now unless it is the first section you need
to edit you don't need to edit the whole article or change browsers. I have
no idea why you can't edit the first section. Ability to do that should be
added.

Subject: [WikiEN-l] article length: =<32Kb?
Hi all,
Perhaps I have been out of the loop on this development, but when I
started contributing to WP, limiting article length to 32Kb was
considered an important consideration. Lately, though, I've been
encountering articles considerably longer. Yesterday, I wanted to
refactor some material in one to tighten it up and another user
objected, saying that [[George W. Bush]] was 72Kb in length. Has the
32Kb threshold effectively been abandoned?
FWIW, I thought the 32Kb limit served as a useful stylistic constraint,
as it encouraged a a measure concision in unwieldy topics. I am going to
take a look at the Bush article in a moment to see what I think of such
a long article.
