Lets not delude ourselves. We have a long way to go. I was just looking at some old EB articles the other day; Guerrilla [warfare], written by .......... T. E. Lawrence. And Space-time, written by .......... Albert Einstein.

I was thinking the other day that mature Wikipedia articles are usually at about the level of a _really good_ college term paper, written by a very competent, bright, student who has spent some time in the library.

Guess what? I'm not the first person who's had that idea:
