Pete, Thanks for introducing us to the Outreach Wiki. I had never heard of it. I think that particular page might be improved to address the dynamics which surround controversial articles such as Global warming, Stalin, Chiropractic, or Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. This treatment should not be allowed to overwhelm the story of articles like Celilo Falls but should be available both for our internal use and to address concerns of external critics. What articles are cited by scholarly critics as examples of unreliability?
