Interesting

By the way MADZ can't we have an implementation of MediaWiki (the Open Source s/w that powers wikipedia) at autolanka.com ? People can then submit articles depending on their freetime and the community can refine them. We have quite a lot of information as tit bits in our forums already, so content for articles are mostly here. Just a thought ...

The community decides whether an article is sincere or BS and flags according to what they think.

For example certain articles about ethnic conflicts are almost always flagged as biased. Then a bigass notice appears on top of the article saying that it's flagged biased and those willing can clean it up. Same goes for copyright violations etc.

I said I was googleing, not searching the wiki.

And the wiki usually pretty reliable, tho not 100%. The Sri Lanka entry keeps changing every couple of days, but what to do?
