Channel five's "The Gadget Show" reviewed Wikis and Wikipedia in this week's show (repeated Saturday morning, about 1115). What they said can be found at http://gadgetshow.five.tv/jsp/5gsmain.jsp?lnk=401&featureid=142&desc...
Unfortunately, since the show went out [[The Gadget Show]] has had to be protected...

Overall a pretty good write-up.
In reading that the George W. Bush article is locked up and untouchable, I have to remind myself that the author of that piece is talking about occasional users, and sure enough, it is not possible for a casual user to edit the article. So he's right. There are good reasons for the compromise we have made here, but it's valid criticism.

Actually I thought they were more than fair to us - the "test" they put in about Jon Bentley owning a cottage on Mars wasn't fixed in "a few hours" - it was nine days later...
