These are excellent observations. My son's Social Studies teacher is an info geek who is familiar with Wikipedia. I should ask him if he would be willing to run a survey of his class asking: "What belongs in an encyclopedia?" and "What should not be in an encyclopedia?"
I think it would be important to specify "Wikipedia" not "an encyclopedia," so as to avoid treating Wikipedia like paper.
I don't think we should unduly bias the test group; say "an encyclopedia with no space limitations". They may /already/ think that Wikipedia is something /other/ than an Encyclopedia.
