Please read Wikipedia Article size and associated articles for the rationale for size limits as well as ways of calculating size Also at this point I think any drastic changes should be through consensus Look at the example of this article in its heyday Now the article is almost double in size In my opinion we must be very careful now as it is out of control Perhaps we should start with the lead per WP LEAD As indicates the article does not flow from the lead or visa versa any more I guess I would suggest that everyone stop and take a deep breath Those of us who care about the article need to make some rational decisions as a group It is very unusual to get an article about a controversial topic to FAC status as this article so painstakingly was I would hate to see that status endangered I would urge those working on the article to be familiar with Wikipedia Featured article criteria To keep that status this page should be written in summary style Regards
