Wikiaccuracy.

This is the kind of project I'd like to work on.

A friend recently told me that "Wikipedia is only 75% accurate. You know why? Because anyone can edit it." She didn't seem too shocked when I pointed out that I had made a couple of changes of my own, but the question of Encyclopedia Britannica's accuracy was a non-starter of a discussion. After all, the EB is edited by an (relative to Wikipedia) extraordinarily small number of people, of whom none might be experts on contributors to Audobon magazine or Ohio townships of less than 2000 people.

God, I love the random page option.

In other news, everything else.
