Think of it like a basketball team. If you absolutely need to have a basketball team and no one wants to join, you'll take anyone. If everyone in the school wants to join the basketball team, you have to set rules and cut people. True, there's a limit to the roster of a basketball team and no limit to the amount of information Wikipedia could have, but more importantly there's a minimum in both cases, and when the minimum is met, you can be more discriminating.
Has the minimum officially been met yet? Are we now being more discriminating?
In terms of content, absolutely. In terms of users, not even close.
