Ed,

Who defines the faults though? Again, you're talking about something  
subjective.

Also, consider this case...

http://starbulletin.com/2006/01/13/news/story03.html

So, "real" reporters are now plagiarizing articles with material from  
WIKIs. That's very dangerous.

... and what about the people who aren't online that have a better  
grasp of a topic? They have no opportunity to contribute.  
Particularly against an online system where anyone with a browser and  
connection can rewrite history.

... and what about human nature? There will *always* be mischievous,  
aggressive people who specifically take advantage of human/technical  
vulnerabilities. They see an open door and they immediately think to  
do something destructive.

Too many variables. I'm all for community journalism, but completely  
open WIKIs don't seem like a good answer.
