Agreed. But that's also a good thing about it. Anybody can *correct*
what they want, when they want, where they want. Why do you think people
will always try to be destructive. No only a few are rest want to be
constructive and at every chance they get they'll correct it. This is a
proven fact as demonstrated by the Free Software Movement. Security..

Are these known problems only with Wikipedia? I think not. And when a
problem has been identified it can always be solved. The Linus's law "Given
enough eyeballs, all errors are shallow" hold good to Wikipedia also.

Well if he can't edit it, someone else will always do it. Come on how
many people read and at the same time audit the articles.

Referring to wikitruth for facts about wikipedia reminds me of
Microsoft's Get the Facts page. They both contain article which show
their positions as truth while ignoring all other facts which contradict
their claims. Why don't you check out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wilki/wikipedia
It also has criticism about wikipedia and all other facts about it. If
you think something is wrong or inaccurate with the article, please use
the power given to you and correct it.
