Re: Wiki--a house of sand?
I agree that Wiki is a potential target of pressure groups. Thus entries on hot button items are likely to be particularly unreliable.
​
I would like to see some information at the head of each entry, that gives some sort of indication of this - maybe a frequency of editing statistic (or content a stability rating).
​
Impeach Bush
