"AFAICT, though, the Wikipedia model appears to accept "has been
posted to Wikipedia by multiple contributors" as constituting
verification.
Wikipedia's main weakness is that, at base, it's a pub conversation.
It's a large pub conversation, and is open to contributions from
passers-by who know their onions, but it's still basically a bunch of
interested people who might -- or might not -- know much about
something, having a chat."
When was that posted? It was true a few years ago.
