This isn't actually accurate. Wikipedia may have reached the point where most people find it includes most of the stuff *that has been traditionally found in encylopedias* they carry around in their heads.
Wikipedia is not paper.

Yeah, well, my reaction to the whole "fruit" discussion is that it is systemic-bias-lite.
Maybe but that doesn't address the problem. Wikipedia has already reached the point where most people find it includes most of the stuff they carry around in their heads. As a result the average person is facing far fewer opportunities to write new articles or expand existing ones than they used to. This makes both continuing expansion in size and editor numbers somewhat tricky.
