<CPOV> The World According to Jimmy Wales?

[John Erling Blad]

I'm totally for scientific evaluation of Wikipedia or whattever other
site that is on the top ranking 100 websites (make it whattever number
you fancy) and claims to be "neutral" in evaluating present and past
historical events. Keep the discussion on track and moderate the list as
appropriate, or I moderate myself out of here. ;)
