[WikiEN-l] Knol goes live

[Thomas Dalton]

Major problem I see: The name of the author is given on each article
along with a brief description of their qualifications/position. This
is good. Some authors have "verified" under their name, however it
turns out that that only means their name has been verified, not their
qualifications [1]. Some articles have references and other links to
confirm things, so it's not completely unreliable, but the "verified"
statement is seriously misleading. I don't care what someone's name
is, I care about their qualifications. It should be made clearer that
only the name has been checked.
