[Wikipedia-l] Do we really need a Sifter project?

[Delirium]

I like the idea of a Sifter project, and it would be a necessary 
prerequisite for a future publication of Wikipedia in paper form, if 
anybody ever wished to do such a thing.  It also might be an indication 
to people that they can treat the articles like "real" encyclopedia 
articles, and do things like cite them in papers, whereas in the current 
state of Wikipedia everything always has to be taken with a grain of 
salt (even a Sifter-approved article would have to be taken skeptically 
of course, but not quite as skeptically).
