"AFAICT, though, the Wikipedia model appears to accept "has been posted to Wikipedia by multiple contributors" as constituting verification.
Wikipedia's main weakness is that, at base, it's a pub conversation. It's a large pub conversation, and is open to contributions from passers-by who know their onions, but it's still basically a bunch of interested people who might -- or might not -- know much about something, having a chat."
When was that posted? It was true a few years ago.
Less than an hour ago. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.sport.cricket/msg/e7294834ac6c99cd
