Rumours much exaggerated. What it says in the penultimate para is false: 
"It needs a major upgrade". WP actually needs numerous minor upgrades. 
The trouble is that Lih's approach is rather from the fluffy end, 
anyway. Anyone who engages with the more scholarly end would say: "I can 
see that a huge amount of work still needs to go into improving the 
content; but on the other hand, as a first draft and technical approach 
to an Internet encyclopedia, this site has much more going for it than 
the more acrid debates would indicate".
