[ienrwoks] Wikipedia probable best, or bleeding edge

Instead of becoming more and more strict about banning accounts, banning Tor, locking pages, censorship, etc., reopen wikipedia to be the encyclopedia that anyone can edit.  But look to natural language processing AI as the savior.

The displayed page for an article might not be the most recent one, but instead one chosen automatically as the one from recent history least likely to contain vandalism and spam. The user is notified when applicable and given the opportunity to fast forward to the latest revision, and to revert vandalism.

Aggressively deploy bots to revert vandalism and spam.

There are some devilish details.
