Hi Gérard.
I disagree with you on one point.
You say "The fact that dictionary information has no place in
Wikipedia is also an established and respected fact."
It is not as true as you seem to imply. It is roughly what is done,
but it is not so widely established.
I think this might be a very cultural issue :-) The french wikipedia
long hesitated, and I would say some users
still consider the encyclopedia and the dictionary content may be
available in one common place.
I have personnaly no problem with an encyclopedic article containing
some dictionary content, and when I see some
I certainly do not remove it.
However, I recognise that some dictionary articles have no
encyclopedic content, so are not so welcome
in the encyclopedia. Hence, it is best that there is a dictionnary :-)
Maybe I should have said, on nl:wikipedia it is accepted that dictionary
content has no place. On nl:wikipedia it is a reason to remove stuff.
Thanks,
Gerard
