The idea that articles can have different degrees (or different categories) of certification also has a certain appeal. But I prefer to make small steps to a full-fledged certification system, so that we can always turn around if something goes wrong.
Much agreement. IMHO, a cert system would be a good idea for one very simple reason: As it stands, NONE of my profs will trust ANYTHING from Wiki. I imagine many professors and teachers are like that; It would help immensely if there was some credibility built up.
Really, really annoying when Wiki has a fact I can't easily find anywhere else.
