Get over yourself! Wikipedia has many safeguards against misinformation, especially on subjects of history and fact...
So this is how they're circling the wagons over BLP issues, by having teenage acolytes badger people with lies and distortions on blogger comments? You'd think they could come up with a better plan than that...
It's not just the lack of authority, but apparently the groups that work together to make decisions, because the academic oriented literally work with K-12 graders, providing stupid, mean, and crazy actions by administrators/those in power at Wikipedia. Moreover, it's not just that "anyone can edit," but they block and ban unjustly, not to mention they do it to those who use their real names! They also stifle freedom of speech with their double-standard policies of "be polite," NPOV, and AGF. Christ, they even called me a "racist troll" for no good reason in rejecting my posts on WikiEN-l! Talk about crazy!
Anyway, I'm looking at this as a criticism. Can Wikipedia be improved? It should be because it's got all that's wrong with the USENET; it's like government that's worse than anarchy!
