[aexywvwv] Easily reverifiable wikipedia

The things one can trust are those that are easily reverifiable by the reader. The most straightforward examples are plot summaries of books and other singular media, though excessively long summaries are unfortunately frowned upon by Wikipedia.

In general, articles with a closed universe. Only a limited number of citations exist.

The grade school "book report".

Another arena: mathematics. Proofs may be checked automatically or by the human reader. Not sure what to do if different editors want to define things differently.

Create a closed universe "view" (live subset) of Wikipedia.
