A) Yes it's appropriate, because we claim to be not censored. We already do tons of things that Brittanica doesn't do, so it's not fair to try to compare us to any other encyclopedia. We are a new item.
We claim to be an encyclopedia.
B) Yes it's in accordance with the standards we have established.
No, because one of our standards is "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia", and that means "Wikipedia provides the summary of all knowledge in accordance with good scholarly practices". The English language may be changing, but I think that the word "encyclopedia" still has this meaning and association.
