You might be right, but I think you confused Wikipedia's goal with Google's.
I looked (casually) and did not find anything on Wikipedia that said its goal was "to collect and provide the totality of human knowledge, for free."
There's a whole huge article on Wikipedia that contradicts this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ISNOT
Well, technically it's the goal of the Wikimedia Foundation in general, rather than the Wikipedia project in particular.
See http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home which states:
"Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment."
It's clearly not the goal of Wikipedia itself.
