I used to agree, but there is a problem with this idea though.
The reason "why wiki works" is due to its ease of creating [[link]]s and making [[new pages]]. <-- See? And because its centralised, its free (as in freedom), and guided by NPOV, (insert Jimbo deification here... PBUH...) (did I mention easy to edit?), Wikipedia has essentially converted all that energy that would have gone intomaking cheezy homepage subpages into a central resource.
Hence if we can expect some degree of quality from it, why cant we expect to link to it?
Because not all of the 1.3 million pages are of the same quality. (yet).
