[WikiEN-l] Wikipedia: the Journal

I have to modify my comments, because after toying around at 
wiki.answers.com the voting system doesn't work.

It's the same issue at Knol in general.  I get over a thousand "views" a 
day of my knols and very very rarely does anyone "vote" my articles either up 
or down.  There has been suspicion among knolians that those articles with a 
high vote count are some form of fraud (for example by creating a hundred 
accounts and voting with all of them).

So in order to use the whole idea of "the best articles get voted" to the 
top we'd need both a way to combat vote-fraud, and a way to intice readers to 
vote at all!
