Looks like some entrepreneurs are putting the credibility of Wikipedia up for bid

...to all the coins I've dropped here

Frankly, the only real users on this site are the three of us, and I'm beginning to have my doubts about me.

I use Wikipedia nearly every day. Granted, most of the stuff I look at is engineering or hard science. That kind of stuff tends to fly under the paid sock puppet radar.

A few months ago the Wikipedia entry for Jürgen Habermas was flagged for him not being sufficiently notable to warrant an entry. (That warning has since been removed.) But the entries for Big Mac and William Hung do not have such notices. (The Hung article is flagged for needing "additional citations for verification".
Sigh.

Wikipedia's best feature has always been citations, and the open source nature, allowing for "self" correction.
