Perhaps the word you want is "academic". I'm sure a university might look down
upon an encyclopedia of "Petticoat Junction" but that doesn't mean that
Wikipedia should. That our work is "popular" and educational and not academic
and yet has a large number, perhaps the majority, in academic articles, is why
it appeals to the widest audience. That is a strength, not a weakness.

I dont understand how information about pornography, computer games, tv
shows... is not educational.
If I want to know whether Berle Ives was ever a guest star on Bewitched,
why wouldn't we fulfill a request like that in project ?
Then you are misunderstanding the meaning of the word 'educational' I think.
