(2) The most common spelling of "encyclopedia" in the U.S. does not have a ligature. "Encyclopædia" looks foreign to most people here.
again, i must say that why the FUCK should non-american/. readers (who, i still firmly believe, make the majority of readers) care how you do things in america. the spelling that is correct for the word in the ENGLISH LANGUAGE is "encyclopædia".
nobody cares how you write the aforementioned word in your letter to your inbred cousin, but as Wikipedia tries to be a formal and respectable site worldwide (with all their multilanguageness and all), it would only be natural if they used proper english.
for all that i know, there are probably a lot of good ol' boys in the more rednecked states who spell innovation "innuhvayshun". does this mean that the world has to start using that word in the english language in the same manner?
