QUOTE(Newsfeed @ Tue 1st September 2009, 10:57am)

QUOTE

However, Wikimedia, the organisation which oversees the online encyclopaedia, was keen to point out that Wikitrust is still in its trial phase.

Not least because Wikimedia had nothing whatever to do with the development of this thing.

QUOTE

"When WikiTrust makes its way through testing and analysis it may be made available as an optional tool that Wikipedia users can activate through their user settings. That timeframe has still not been set," says the foundation in a statement.

IOW, we can't really dismiss it out of hand. So, maybe you'll see it as an option, sometime in the unclear future. Or, maybe not.
