Every nontechnical article is full of selective quotes, from borderline random people, which have no place in an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia has facts. That's not what Wikipedia even tries to do. If it wasn't auch a great source for the sciences I would be ok with it going away.

I think it’s exactly what Wikipedia tries to do. But given the scale of things its not going to get it right every time.
