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.
