For real, either put some work into the article or don't post it at all. Instead, create a discussion post and get some more people's opinions. It only ends up wasting people's time and causing incorrect definitions when people post prematurely.

I get making them to kinda serve as a placeholder, but I have to agree that the pages could stand to have more elaboration put into them. Even in my more snarkily-worded old articles (that, thankfully, HAVE been cleaned up), I made sure I did research into them before I wrote them out. We do encourage our visitors to perhaps flesh them out if they have something to add to the discussion to take into consideration.
