I am not categorically opposed, but I currently don't see a use case for articles. For one, wikis already exist. What would be the benefit of hosting our own rather than participating on Wikipedia? After all, Wikipedia has a very mature software and policies for this very thing. It also has a much higher reach thanks to its impeccable google ranking. Also, at least at the current maturity level of the implemenation, self-answered questions seem to have some important advantages over articles: - Having to write a question makes it easier to tell what that article is about, allowing readers to quickly assess whether it is relevant to them. - If other people think they can write a better article, they can. In summary, I don't currently see a usecase, and would leave this feature disabled until we do.
