We already have that problem right now: Go and try to enter "palestine" in the wikipedia search: There are more than 500 matches. The one article named "Palestine" is more or less a link list. What tells me that? I don't get the information out of Wikipedia, I'll get it out of Britannica. (Check out this link and you'll understand the difference: http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?eu=115036)
Typing "palestine" in the search is silly; go to [[Palestine]] instead. None of the articles named [[Palestine]] on any of the language wikis (when linked to from [[en:Palestine]]) is "more or less a link list". One could argue about whether they're better or worse than EB's, but your charge is unsupportable.
Interestingly, the EB page that Ulrich links to above *is* more or less a link list -- unlike our articles!
