Preventing spam on a wiki is actually very easy - you just restrict editing privileges to known group members. For reasons I don't really understand, this is often an unwelcome proposition, so you have to do some sort of lashup to prevent drive-by bots. And that never works 100%. Does anyone have responsibility for commissioning articles? IME, spontaneous offers for content are very rare, and frequently tinged with ulterior motives. But people are often open to being asked to write about something specific, and the resulting atticle is generally of a higher quality to boot...
