Well, it depends what you mean by 'original content'. One of the Wikipedia standards is 'no original research', which I think is more what Eliezer was trying to get at here. While original articles containing stuff from LW belong on the wiki, none of the concepts, arguments, or explanations should be created whole-cloth for the wiki. Rather, anything original should be a post here which the wiki can then reference if it's relevant.
