The problem I see with Wiki-anything is that it's own "charter" or "claim of being" is the fact that it can be edited by anyone...

Facts and truth be damned!!!

Full forward the lil' lies and falsehoods...as long as the ends justify the means...

Sure...you can write anything and hopefully someone will filter out the chaff from reality...but until that happens, the only clue as to what you're reading MAY be of dubious origins is the phrasing that mentions "...item(s) need clarification..." or something of that strain.

There's nothing like "fact-checking" anymore and because of that, it seems, everyone is entitled to their version of the facts as they've become accustomed to aquiring them...anything else is "poo-poo'ed" as drivel and pablum from the opposing source(s)...

As a side-note to this discourse...

Encyclopedia Brittanica has just recently announced it will no longer PRINT itself...and from that statement EB will now be known as a "flexible" document that will, purportedly, still be useable as a reference guide for knowledge.

And all sand castles will stand the test of time...

To the victor goes the spoils of war and the ability to write history...

He who screams the loudest...
