I wonder, what has made Wikipedia so popular? That we're NPOV, or that we're a wiki? For some reason, people seem to think that "Wikipedia" is a generic term to describe a wiki ("They have their own Wikipedia"), or that "Wiki" is our name ("Please let me post this on Wiki"), or something...
Wiki-ness makes us popular. NPOV keeps us relevant.
