That isn't going to happen, simply because we don't have enough people
interested in, or even capable of, that kind of writing. It's a wiki
and it's good at collaborative work, which means that a few people
write about what they know and the rest fact-check it and pick it into
a reasonable format.
Well over 99% of our articles will never be of featured or even "good"
article standard, but that says more about our unrealistically high
standards than it does about the quality of the encyclopedia.
