What WR does as a privately operated website requiring membership to
participate in conversations is completely irrelevant to what Wikipedia, The
Encyclopedia Everybody Can Edit, does. They operate under two entirely
different philosophies, have different communities, and different
expectations.  Having said that, I understand that it's not that hard to
gain membership there, so please feel free to join up Will, and then you can
see what they have in their members-only section.  I have never felt the
urge to do so, but if you're that concerned perhaps you might want to take
the leap.  Of course, you will never be able post anything you find out
there onto Wikipedia, at least not if Tony Sidaway has his wishes.  I
suggest you review [[WP:PRIVATE]] before you join.
