		<description>The ONLY PROBLEM WITH VANDALS IS WIKIPEDIA ITSELF, geocities.com/tellwebtruth tells more about wikipedia and how they treat others

they are responsible for content, they start things, if even it&#039;s a little bit wrong, administrators reverse everything, then when somebody wants to correct it, if they do not like it, it stays, wiki is very subjective and you cant do anything about, the only good thing, it&#039;s up to date, no more, stay away if you wanna get screwed and get wrong grades!

		<description>I really don&#039;t think this is the biggest problem facing Wikipedia. As I noted on Friday, Wikipedia is already evolving a corrective mechanism for vandalism, as people increasingly tend to &quot;adopt&quot; articles that they have contributed to. The big problem, IMHO, is actually a technical, not wetware, problem, viz. the almost chronic database servers. I&#039;m getting pretty tired of clicking on &quot;edit&quot; and waiting five minutes for a page to display, sittin on the business end of an OC12 connection.

		<description>Yawn.  Wikipedia and wiki&#039;s in general are not going anywhere. This is just hype.

The wiki technology will continue to improve to deal with such situations.

Let&#039;s not go crazy.

		<description>This piece on Townhall.com is apropos. http://townhall.com/opinion/columns/pauljacob/2005/12/18/179551.html

Teaser: &quot;Unfortunately, a few contributors are saboteurs, libellers, and ill-meaning pranksters, creating havoc with false entries, mean-spirited lies, and low-brow japes.

It&#039;s easier for bad entries to &#039;happen&#039; to a good encyclopedia like Wikipedia than to other encyclopedias because it&#039;s so easy to add things to Wikipedia. Until a few weeks ago, even anonymous contributors could write and edit the wiki. Even now it takes just minutes to sign up as a contributor and start your career as an unpaid encyclopedist.

And though other contributors can edit out what you put up, this is not always as fast as the word &#039;wiki&#039; suggests (wiki means &#039;quick&#039; or &#039;hasten&#039; in Hawaiian).&quot;

		<description>It&#039;s really fascinating to watch the evolution of Wikipedia happen so rapidly, as these posts are demonstrating.  The only thing I think Goldman is wrong about is that it will take 5 years to unravel...it will likely be a much shorter time before policing must become so serious as to make Wikipedia unrecognizable.  At least so it seems to me.
