That makes sense, Chris. I was rolling my eyes a bit just at the idea, I admit.
I don't want to give the impression that I love Wikipedia to death, but the level of detail you can often find there is actually a plus, to me. I never understood (especially back in the "old days") people wandering around the Web by following links willy-nilly, having no idea where they ended up--but doing that just inside Wikipedia, I often find it engrossing. "Hey, when was that song released? Hey, that guy helped make it--have I heard of him? Oh, yeah, he died last year? He appeared on that show--what sort of show was that?" Etc.
