Create content moderators and you create a point of
weakness. The best
safeguard of content is verifiability. The existing dispute resolution
process can deal with people who repeatedly make unverifiable edits.
But we *must* kill the wiki in order to save it. Else all the editors will
leave in disgust and Britannica will not take us seriously. Possibly we
should vote on it.
