[Wikimedia-l] Why the WP will never be a real encyclopaedia

[Richard Farmbrough]

Rui (and list) there is a myth about "articles that are sacrosanct" - 
which is not to say that there aren't such articles, though the examples 
you gave don't stand up to much scrutiny.  It would be useful to conduct 
some research on the whole corpus to evaluate this hypothesis and give 
some upper and lower bounds for  the populaiton, and to establish some 
sample lists for qualitative examination.
