When fully developed, a wikispecies directory will be a delightful resource work as a standalone *and* a nice foundation for *some* encyclopedia articles. But the two are not identical.
The Tree of Life project's aim has always been to write about all species. I think that ambitious aim has been part of the reason for its success in becoming the largest wikiproject (tens of thousands of articles), with the most contributors.
I am personally disappointed that you want to put a stop to that - presumably coming up with some guideline so that *some* species are allowed articles, but not all.
It also rides against the overwhelming consensus of this thread, as mentioned in my other post. Whatever their position on wikispecies, on-one has suggested crippling wikipedia.
