- Good question, User:Megistias. Regarding your point, though, a project is not launched in order to "complete" articles on a particular subject. It is rather started, and I quote Wikipedia on that, "as an effort to build a comprehensive and detailed guide" to Illyria and Illyrians, in our case.
- There are several reasons why we should have a project on Illyria. A good reason is the identification of articles related to Illyria. This is usually done by placing the respective template on each article's talk page. Another reason is frequent maintenance of such articles. For instance, if an article has been prone to vandalism (which may occur from time to time) or if the [[WP:NPOV] has been violated, an announcement can be placed on the project's main page and the active user may be able to track changes easily. Also, active users, which are actually members of the same team, can put much more effort to maintain the Illyria-related articles. A final reason that comes to my mind, for the moment, is that such a project places a stronger emphasis on information granularity. That is, because Illyria-related articles would be under constant observation thanks to the main project page, information on Illyria would be much more sorted out and collected under one center of gravity - the Illyria Project.
- To get back to your point, I don't believe that articles are over, ever. On the contrary, I believe knowledge evolves, new facts emerge, and both new knowledge and new facts are in constant need of being reviewed, digested, exposed, and presented in encyclopedias, other articles, and so forth.--Arbër t • ? 18:48, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
