Exactly! If Wikipedia was a compendium of human knowledge, we wouldn't need Wiktionary because Wiktionary excluded some linguistic knowledge from the main encyclopedia. Now, some wikipadians would like to exclude some cooking knowledge. What next? What is the argument to say what is encyclopedic or not? Actually, Wikipedians are not representative at all of human diversity (sex, age, culture, etc.) so, imho, majority's opinion is not relevant to answer this question. So I ask again to Jimbo, "What kind of encyclopedia is Wikipedia?"
