I disagree (to both). Traditional encyclopaedias may have covered only
the "basics" of the subject because they have constraints inherent in
print publication. Wikipedia is not paper, and we can cover any subject
in any depth we want -- all we need is the volunteers to write it.
I believe that if there is to learn more, then it belongs in Wikipedia too.
