So, anyone can post a topic or edit any topic?
Do they review the edits or new topics?
Seems like an interesting site but do they really trust people not to vandalize or put false/inaccurate info on the site? |

Sometimes things get vandalised, but it always gets caught eventually. There have been a few cases of American politicians editing their own profiles recently to remove controversial bits. I can't remember their names but it shouldn't be hard to google. |

Does it work exactly? No error whatsoever? Truly?  |

There are errors and vandalism, but for the most part they are corrected most of the time.
I'm a regular editor on Wikipedia and have written quite a few articles, mostly about Oregon politicans (Can you guess who I am?).
There was a problem with a specific vandal and he was taken to arbitration and banned. He (and his associates) are connected with the Dominion of Melchizedek scam. |
