			* The main content pages aren't open to public editing yet, but the [[Help:talk pages\|talk pages]] are.
			* Some pages are presentable - other pages are unfinished. This is necessary to get the ball rolling on various topics. Sorry if it seems a bit jarring for now.
			* Some pages are very short, other pages are long & detailed. This is by design: On one hand, different readers have different interests & needs; On the other hand, simple things and complex things have to be able to link to each other. I'm still trying to find the best way to organize a diversity of writing styles.
