The Encyclopedants is a term applied to the small group of individuals who decided a collection of Ghyll intellect, in written and distributed form, was necessary for the bettering of society, as well as the benefit of future historians. The group now presides over the encyclopedia's integrity and "cohesion of vision". To remain an objective judge, the Encyclopedants attempt to focus only on "the facts as we're told them", asking questions, poking holes, and suggesting "standards" to further quality assurance. These Progress Reports are considered official communication between the Encyclopedants and their Scholars, and they encourage others to write their own thoughts and comments into the margins.
Whither Our Dropped Mandibles?
One year ago as we, the Encyclopedants, put out a call for contributors to a new collection of knowledge, we never expected to reach this, the end of the Encyclopedia's first draft. Even now, as our editors diligently wrangle the wealth of text into a shape suitable for mass consumption and printing for your peers, we realize that a Second Edition is uncontestable: there is simply so much more to discover. While a number of our regular scholars have signed on for the second edition, we're quite pleased to see a bevy of new faces anxious to catalog the intellect that, until now, has been spread only across the minds of all.
190 entries in our First Edition. Marvellous, marvellous.
Round 1 Statistics
At the end of Round 1 there are a total of 219 article pages visible on Special:Allpages, of which one is the Main Page, 15 belong to the special Encyclopedants category, 4 belong to the special Lexicon category, and 9 are #REDIRECTS. That leaves a total of 190 actual Ghyll Encyclopedia articles. There are 116 users in the user list, of which 46 have at least minimal user pages. Of these, 32 have actually contributed articles. (This includes Stottlemeyer O'Phelan, who doesn't exist in real life.) --John Cowan 15:17, 26 Apr 2005 (EDT)
