I think if we had almost every article you would find in a *single volume* encyclopedia up to featured or good status that would be a great foundation.
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.
