Very good question...

Hmm, I'd imagine that for each topic, we'd want one of each, such that
cataloguers can pick and choose whatever's most appropriate.  E.g.,
Nupedia might wish to only accept long bio's on medieval kings, whereas
someone assembling The Encyclopedia of Architecture might prefer having
the "quick shots" versions of the bio's.
