What's the status here? - - are Shorts still valid??76.4.37.75 (talk) 15:39, 5 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

We occasionally publish shorts. However, atm we don't recommend them. They don't seem to fit well with our workflow. You need two sources for each short, so you do almost as much to write a short as you would have to write a minimal standalone article; and you have to do it several times over. Then a reviewer has to do a significant part of the work for each short that they would have done for each article; and problems with one short could potentially sabotage the whole, depending on how many items there are in the collection, which makes it all very awkward. --Pi zero (talk) 11:40, 21 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
