On a meta-philosophical point, would you be able in the ten minutes you had available be able to check if what you were reading was in a vandalised state or not, and would you have time to check the sources? Seeing as it is the sources you need to read to verify what you are reading... (no-one takes on blind trust what they read on Wikipedia without checking the sources, do they now??). Carcharoth PS. You might find that the page(s) you chose to read had been protected for years, or was in the middle of an edit war. Or that the entire encyclopedia had been 'checked' and published and was 'finished'? Would that be a cause for celebration or not? OK, I suppose this is all missing the point of the question... _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
