I think this article is a great example of coming to terms with the "digital age" and giving solutions to the possible problems that could crop up when dealing with the veracity of information. I never thought that totally banning or discrediting the information on Wikipedia was good policy, particularly when I know I've personally contributed something valuable to it. Sure, you're always going to run into vandalism, trolling, and blatant mis-information, but how many history books that we've all read have gently twisted the "truth" or omitted pertinent data. If those history books weren't so interested in indoctrination, we wouldn't have books like Lies My Teacher Told Me or A People's History Of The United States.
