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.

GTH, I got some good feedback from Enkidu, who is an amin at Wikipedia. He thinks that the flags on the RIA entry will sort themselves out, based on the clean up work you did.

Don't worry . . . you're not the only one keeping an eye out for the RIA site on Wikipedia. You've got backup.

Enkidu made some formatting tweaks today as well... it looks like that hardass admin came back with more complaints about sources.
