This, all of this. My impressions of it are that arbitrary notability wars basically killed Wikipedia's chance at any kind of completeness - and that has killed any desire I have to become involved in it, if it'll just throw my efforts in the bin. It's as good as it'll get on what it has because it's camped by editors who don't allow changes, even for the better; and it just doesn't want any contributions on anything it doesn't already have. I don't buy the argument that there isn't enough space on the internet. Wikis are at their worst on high-profile, contested topics, and at their best in minutiæ Wikipedia's entrenched cabal passionately hates. Curious, as a social experiment. It's interesting it became as good as it did, but it's firmly in maintenance mode now and that won't keep the cobwebs off forever. I wonder how much it's being gamed by PR companies and governments now.
