I disagree. Wikipedia can't be all things to all people, and I think it's 
silly to try.  Wikipedia should consider itself one of a community of wikis, 
specifically, the encyclopedic one, with academic standards.  Why not allow 
for there to be multiple sources of information, and let the different ones 
specialize in different things and get good at what they do?
