I created an account so that I could write a page about where I live, having done that I went back a little later to add some more info and realised that I'd not only forgotten my password but also my username! I was stone cold sober on both occasions so I can only think that's the problem :-)Nogbadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838817425838931554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13219187.post-1139124150098585792006-02-05T07:22:00.000+00:002006-02-05T07:22:00.000+00:00During and soon after Canada's recent election for...During and soon after Canada's recent election for a new PM, the Wiki entries for both the former PM and the former ruling Liberal party had all kinds of slurs edited into their write ups. I don't know how Wiki controls it but it was enough of a problem that they locked certain pages down for a while.<BR/><BR/>I too question the validity of Wiki lately. There was also a write up about our healthcare system which had been written by an American. It was completely wrong and uninformed. I couldn't believe how incorrect it was. I deleted half of it and rewrote it, then sent a complaint to Wiki. <BR/><BR/>I like Wiki. It's a good idea. But there needs to be better control over there.Echomousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940320361755051172noreply@blogger.com
