Sound like "L'indice dei libri proibiti", the list of
forbidden books that catholic church used for
centuries. 
It became famous for considering unreliable and wicked
books from authors like Honoré de Balzac, Cartesio,
Daniel Defoe, Denis Diderot, Victor Hugo, Immanuel
Kant, Voltaire, Émile Zola (and many others), thus
forbidding them. ... Yours seems to me a optimistic
dream hard to make true.

Plus, will these guys from the wikiprojects be able to
be both expert AND npov? Or will they give their
opinion in all the matters in wich there isn't just
*true* way to solve the problem?

Please note that mine are just questions, I'm not
polemizing for the sake of it...
