mmmmm I think Wikipedia is much more uglier than that. I think a bistro in
Monmarte with tables full of knives and bottles and bottles of Absinthe,
testosterone and competing wisdom is more apt.

"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."
