I think that this option would have considerable advantages, as long as we 
can make sure that the db provides specific information for wikispecies 
users that wikipedia users might find too detailed/specialised. If the 
wikispecies db will be organised like in your suggestion, we would have to 
be able to create an interface that makes it clear that it is a unit and 
not a general encyclopedia and provide similar search functions as other 
species databases (as www.fishbase.org - according to the needs of a 
certain taxon).
