I find the idea laughable. Wikis tend to produce nuetral viewpoints, so a bigoted wiki would be hard to create, unless they require registration and ban any users who disagree with them... but they'd have to make it harder to register to stop people from just making up a new name and pass on the spot.

(Incidentally, if you look at that thread you see the problem with auto-emoticons - there's random smiles in copied text)
They also mention what they consider currently objectionable - nice to know which pages we're doing right, as it were...

Partial integrity, to be correct.
