Anyone can edit, which is why they are generally correct.  When 100,000
people view a record, and 2 people want to change it to be incorrect,
999,998 will want to correct it.

I wouldn't use a wiki as a great historical or technical source.  But
for encyclopedia entries, which give a good summation of a subject, they
are great.
