Default uk.d-i-y wiki

Rather too much of that is complete nonsense... especially the last bit


And doesn't the fact that it is sitting there in it's current form
rather suggest that the concept of a diy Wiki, however well-intentioned,
is fundamentally flawed?

It's a similar situation to the articles John Rumm cited here the other
day in his thread "electrical stuff" - AFAICS having been alerted to a
John's new wiki article lots of people duly suggested and discussed
various changes here in the newsgroup, whereupon John went off and
tweaked his article. But that's exactly what's always happened here
historically when people have penned articles for the uk.d-i-y FAQ,
isn't it? It's not how a wiki is meant to work. And if John hadn't
specifically invited the critique, there would have been none...
