the other day a real eager beaver new fellow asked a non-trivial question about his suspension. three people posted good advice. All similar. he said thanks and would make the fix. Just after that someone posted very bad advice, stuff that could cause ruined parts at best, an accident at worst. he said thanks, I guess I'll take your advice instead. I didn't check to see if anyone had tried to correct him or the bad post.
my point is that if this Wiki is an official Pelican reference, like your books, and people get bad advice from it and ruin their cars, it could become a real headache. put another way, would you knowingly allow bad information to be published in 101...? because that's what will happen on the Wiki unless real, qualified technical editors are constantly scanning additions, edits and updates.
