Hi David and welcome. I like your ideas, but am not sure about refactoring Talk pages. You are absolutely right in much of your commentary regarding them, but I think that they should be left intact until a satisfactory article is posted. Also, the talk pages occasionally do end up with interesting stuff that could eventually be posted to standards or FAQs, so refactoring might make that more difficult. I definitely think you have a great idea about reading the talk befor jumping into an article, though.

Anonymous, thanks for your thoughts. Based on your feedback, I've added the comment on "Archived discussion above". I think it is best to focus on adding summarizing content at the top of /Talk? pages, rather than deleting discussion. Perhaps my use of the term "refactoring" confused that issue. Let me know if I've understood you. Thanks. -- DavidSaff
