It's is funny that you mentioned the Wild West (etc), as I was just thinking yesterday of a new way to describe the difference between Wikipedia and Knol.
Wikipedia is like moving into a city where all the inhabitants are helping to build all of the buildings, and you have some organized and disorganized crime elements like in any city.
Knol is like living on the vast prairies, where you rarely encounter your neighbors, but you are free to build your own barn, town or city as you choose.
See my stab at building my first city here.

Let's hope it doesn't see the same suicide rate spike...
