`  :::::Rursus, Wikipedia is not paper, and there is no natural limit to articles.  Limits are just guidelines.  I think it is easonable that articles on more complex and controversial topics will be longer than other articles; the article on ``race`` will be longer than the article on ``igneous rocks`` for example.  Our articles are organized with clear section headers so people can skip stuff they are not interested in.  But given the wide range of misunderstandings about race, I think there is a lot of value to one article that explores the different facets in detail.  Obviously I am all for trimming fat, or redundancies. But most people simply cannot understand points most scientists take for granted unless they read aout the research by both population geneticists and sociologists.  I see a lot of value in putting this material in the same article.  To separate it is to confirm a widespread misbelief, that sociologists and biologists do not agree with one another or have mutually reenforcing views.  And I really hesitate to use summary style, because people new to the topic just will not understand a summary of complex research. It needs to be spelled out clearly, however many words that takes.    |   `
