All in all, Wikipedia is a terrific addictive Borgesian project...
However, it should probably have more stringent criteria for article inclusion. An encyclopedia is a compendium of synthetic, neutral, verifiable knowledge susceptible to be useful in the context of education (παιδεια = "education"), in the broad sense in which this term is used. Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, right. But that does not mean Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia. The project will fail somehow if people start saying: "Well, this is not really an encyclopedia, you would never find such an article in an encyclopedia. What's the point of having such an article?".
