NPOV, free content licensing, encyclopedic format, all those things that
make Wikipedia great.

That's the theory, anyway.  In practice maybe there isn't enough of that to

do a pseudo-scientific study on what portion of articles on schools contains
libel, instead of us all just trading anecdotes, it would help.
