Wikis are great fun but totally unreliable.
There are armies of schoolchildren who enjoy altering the "facts" and seeing how long before they are spotted. Groups of them will repair to a local internet cafe and spend an hour or two altering Wikis.
I know of a 10 year old who has altered some items and they have remained uncorrected since last October. 10 year olds have a great imagination which I am sure adds greatly to the sum of human "knowledge"
I think that they have learned that Wikis are the last place to start your research. Perhaps there is hope for the younger generation.
Perhaps if we read that AR is not dead but is in hiding with Elvis Preseley; we will all realise what a valuable tool Wikis are.
