::There already is a place that (very nearly) contains "a copy of [all] information possible at one place"--the internet itself! The primary goal of wikipedia is to make sure the internet has all of the well-documented information that's currently published in other forms, ''not'' to categorize things you can already find with a google search. -- [[User:SCZenz|SCZenz]] 20:11, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Yup. Also see [[WP:NOT]], Wikipedia's goal is definitely not to just include "everything". As for the "Someone other than the webcartoonist needs to actually write and develop the article in question", that is indeed sort of official policy, see [[WP:VANITY]] and [[WP:AUTO]]. The reason this is in the article and worded the way it is, is mostly because it's an artefact of basing that proposal on a websnark article (linked in the proposal). It really should just be changed to include a mention of wp:vanity or wp:auto, sort of like "Expanding on the [[WP:AUTO|Wikipedia Autobiography guidelines]], a webcartoonist shall not write an article on his own comic.".
