If you want a "positive opinion" on that: I do not having a problem with Wikipedia being "academic" at all, indeed I very much support this. Mind you, this doesn't mean that we should try to write as"academically and unintelligibly (to the general public) as possible, but I'm referring to the sources we use etc. - I think we should not lower our standards just to attract more readers.
