Wow. That's disturbing. There are times when the

makes me distinctly uncomfortable...if I make a mistake in what I write, if
I screw something up, I have changed "knowledge". Yet again, I wish that
the world understood that Wikipedia is a beta.
I think of Wikipedia more like "my first encyclopaedia" than "beta"
as
such. Sometimes beta software is pretty good. You can use beta
software to run your business. I don't think any serious professional
or academic would be trusting their reputation on "my first
encyclopaedia".
