I'm just experimenting here
I really like wikis for certain things such as planning a project or a class, but I really don't trust using them for getting information because anyone can go in and change them around. I really would be dubious about looking up anything to do with a politician, for example, because the politician's opponents could just go in and put in false or incorrect information. Even in a work situation, a jealous coworker could amend the contribution of a colleague that he/she wants to undermine. Wikis are wonderful in an idealized trusting world--a true intellectual community.
