Halloween Week Tasks

Week 7: I have been "using" wikipedia for some time. I know it is subject to editing of a dubious sort, so I take it with a grain of salt. It is fast, like the meaning of wiki implies (Hawaiian for quick). Do I like the idea of a democratic encyclopedia? Maybe not, because I'd like to think there is some kind of editorial authority. How can we sort facts from puffery? Will my virtual presence on the net make me able to spot lies and spin?

P.S. I went for a tour of nfl2wiki. As soon as I remember what I used for a password etc. I'll do some entries in PBwiki. A library wiki for all the procedures, not to mention rules and policies, is a fantastic idea.
