I don't see any mistake that Wikispecies would make in a similar manner. Another thing we can learn from www.all-species.org: there is a whole list of the most eminent taxonomists, all of them supporting the idea of a central database of species, indicating an urgent need for that. They all took on the patronage (whatever that means in "ALL species" terms). Mav: HOW MANY OF THEM DO YOU THINK SUPPORT A GENERAL ENCYCLOPEDIA? How many of them already support the ToL in public?
You must first demonstrate that such functionality could not be added to Wikipedia (which is *NOT* a general encyclopedia but a collection of many specialized ones). Several people have already proposed ways to do *exactly* that.
