"But you would say that" :-)

And then some one else "corrects" your stuff.....  I personally have
seen the case where someone was "correcting" a page they had written
after the originator of the work on finding the wiki page had changed a
lot of the page to be accurate.

So even when some one who really knows corrects the Wiki there is no
guarantee that some idiot will not change it again.

Some companies, religions, pressure groups, political groups spend time
"correcting" wiki pages to reflect their views and "repairing" damaged
caused by vandals.... ie other companies, religions, pressure groups,
political groups spending time "correcting" wiki pages to reflect their
views
