Provocative thoughts

 * I believe Wikipedia should not include all the information available in the universe.
 * I believe 90% of articles currently on Wikipedia are not really notable from an encyclopaedic viewpoint.
 * I believe Wikipedia should allow commercial advertisements.
 * I believe Wikipedia is currently not efficient, as the gigantic work of millions of people has only resulted in about 5000 articles of quality, and most of them are on unimportant topics.
 * I believe I should not engage actions based on the beliefs above.
