If a professor as stated they wish their students' articles to NOT be collaborative...then they have already stated their wishes, very, very obviously. If we right now have some such articles, then something like {{EZarticle-closed}} needs to be created. And again, for articles they have stated may be collaborative, they have already stated their wishes, too. We need not act like children or check our brains at the door. If you wish to ask about this sort of something where the information is already clear and available, be my guest, and I'll just move on to areas where I won't need to acquire learned helplessness for myself in the guise of collaboration.
