What about historical people? Or historical actions? Science? Just because it is not a modern science fact, and is not always citable, doesn't mean it didn't happen. For example anecdotal science history, which can be fascinating.
I hate to sound like an old guy, but in the old days, the whole point of Wikipedia was that we could learn things beyond Britannica and company. Ideas and history from all corners of the planet, painstakingly recorded by someone who took the time to write on a topic they had unique knowledge.
Maybe we need a dual track Wikipedia -
One moderated by the present wiki system, and the other, moderated by the public, as originally. I think the amount of people scamming the world is 1000's of times less than those who want to improve it. It's a shame to lose their knowledge and voice.
