Akron Wiki - a community wiki for Akron, Ohio.

I have been doing some work on different articles on Wikipedia, and it is quite an education. One thing to remember, however, as I discovered, lots of trollish mopes run around the site vandalizing articles.

A good example is to go to a state government site and change the governor's name. I have already seen that happen. Another item is to change quotations or make them up.

I am hopeful that the RIA article doesn't get vandalized. I try to work on it a couple of times a day and check it out.

Wikis are cool, but I just don't think they are user friendly enough yet for most casual users of the Internet. It's tough to play around with html tags - I'd much rather use a simpler format like blogs or reviews to publish what's on my mind.
