Since your changes seem to be so sweeping you are sure to meet resistance. If you feel you really have a better structure in mind that can significantly reduce the length then i would start with DNA/More_simple. i have started it along the path you are hoping for. Rather than argue for all your changes individually why not make all the changes so the finished product can be more easily assessed? David D. (Talk) 21:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

As I just said on Talk:DNA, thank you! But I doubt whether its worth my efforts as long I'm not sure whether it will stand a chance. Rather, I want to induce a discussion for now, because I see this as a broad problem on Wikipedia, of which DNA is a main example. Josq (talk) 22:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I understand your frustration but if you really want to make an impact a clear example of where you are going will make your point more clearly than anything you can say on a talk page. Even if these changes are not incorporated immediately, surely such an exercise would be a good case study for the general point you are making? David D. (Talk) 22:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, it's not really frustration but...
I have spend some time rewriting a part of nl:DNA. That article is still far from how I like to see it, but when it would be up to me, it also will remain far from the english version.
I certainly will think about your proposal, it would be a nice combination with a further rewriting of the Dutch version. Josq (talk) 22:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
