I originally wanted to create a Disney Theme Park database a la the IMDB. I realized that having users enter information to a mod before it appeared would be a PITA for everyone, especially me. I figured that wiki would be the way to go. My fear with wiki, though, is that the unlimited freedom would also breed unlimited misinformation, or even malicious posting. So I needed to figure out a harmonious balance. I checked out many wikis for models that appealed to me. I found Leo Laportes radio show wiki, which can only be updated by folks who know the password. He changes the password once a week and announces the password on his radio show every weekend. When I said "favorite geeks," I meant that we could spread the password to various knowledgable message boards. If people can play nice, I'd change the password less frequently or be done with it entirely. Since I'm asking for factual information, especially historical stuff, I don't want to spend hours a week removing incorrect (but well-meaning) "facts". Hope that clears up my intentions - didn't mean to concern you.
