BUT, some people do not see Wikipedia as revolution encyclopedia. Some people want to work on a classic encyclopedias which are divided into general and special. In general, project Wikispecies is a try to make one specialized encyclopedia.
The need for such a separation for wikibased encyclopedias has not been demonstrated.
In the past people have attempted to apply social network metrics to determine our scaling potential. However, it would appear that the work on Wikipedia is already self-segmenting (i.e. people who care to write about football are unaffected by people writing about physics) and that the only real shared resource is the article title namespace, from which we've seen few difficulties .
