Dear Castelo,
We are in danger to repeat ourselves. :-) Short and simply, my statement:
* WP is an encyclopedia, with all what that means;
* the difference between primary sources and secondary sources is of
vital importance (at least in the perspective of most historians).
Kind regards
Ziko

Yes, it "can be done" but it's not "been made". The information
is there for
decades or centuries, and it was never registered outside of Wikipedia, and
now we have interested people, available time and enough resources to make
it happen.
We already did a lot of things that could be made (less efficiently, indeed)
outside Wikipedia. Let's begin with Wikipedia itself. And what about
Wikimedia Commons?
This is knowledge, and our commitment is to freely share the knowledge with
every human being, so change the question from "Why?" to "Why not?".
