There will be a place for those information sources attempting to
provide a reliable synthesis. The goal is to make WP the source which
can be shown to be the most reliable at it, and the WP hypothesis is
that this can be done by collaborative editing.

Ha, yikes. It will be a race! What will google do when there are 50
