The Los Angeles Times is apparently going to make a Wiki out of their editorial page online. This should be funny/hard to watch. Have they looked at the vandalism issues on wikipedia lately? And that's just for internerds. This is going to be "Editorial Page Meets 1991 Usenet" or something. Ow, ow, ow.

Tell me about the vandalism issues on wikipedia lately!

The top issues are always here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Most_vandalized_pages

And the "in progress" page offers amusement also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandalism_in_progress

A lot of the recent stuff seems to have been Catholic wars, I think because of the recent papal changeover.

I really like saying 'Frequent Vandalism from "Mr. Treason"'.

"...wikis updated by the general public only work if there’s enough people interested in helping to maintain it to offset the spammers, trolls, and script kiddies. In other words, the only viable public wiki is Wikipedia."
