I note that Sir Jim Rose, who came up with this lunatic idea, lacks a
wikibio. Maybe he should have one so he can see how (cough) educational
the wikiexperience is?
Personally, I think this is just a cunning plan to get hundreds of
thousands of young Brits trained to use wikipedia, so we can control the
right articles and edit the Empire back in. Two clicks and 1776 becomes
a minor crushed uprising. The world map will be pink once again
(virtually).
Maybe the "End of History" after all?
