Probably a good idea. But anyway, got anything to say about the rest? I'd be interested, cos I can't see much other solutions really to the big questions about Wikipedia and similar sites, like this even:
Anyone truly determined and manipulative will always have the upper hand, and as more and more serious organisations like political parties and their corporate masters with serious money and manpower (think
oDesk (T-H-L-K-D) which is what Facebook's worldwide network of monitoring minions are ran off from, or
Amazon Mechanical Turk (T-H-L-K-D), or
50 Cent Party (T-H-L-K-D)) get smart and use the same tactics, Wikipedia and every other website - including Wikipedia Review - that attempts to be impartial is doomed.
Because most people are inclined to trust, WANT to trust even when they don't really have any proof that a name isn't just a copy of someone else (or even bypassing that way by being a group being employed together, the "meatpuppets" idea) - and so naturally the people willing to lie have the upper hand over good people. Taking advantage of how most people start of wanting to believe humanity is naturally good, when there's so many bad people that trusting so much is just a weakness, especially on the internet.
Wikipedia tries "assume good faith" and going after the most obvious ones, but that means they're helpless as lambs to the slaughter to the truly manipulative ones...
Is that the kind of world we want to live in?
I am beginning to think the only way that it could be solved is to
hide the idea of internet personalities entirely (there is the idea that you can clearly identify individual people on at least some kind of official registration, not even having to be public information to maintain privacy, but then there comes to the question of how useless it would be in the face of organisations employing multiple people in their propaganda campaigns), to
protect people from themselves and force people to judge on the content contributed on the internet, to deny the manipulative people a platform to do so...
