it is my understanding that like the OS linux anybody can tweak it with their own input?
is there review of all the changes added?
is there standards to which information added to it must pass?
or is this just the biggest opinion website in the world?

Kandahar said:On science, yes, it is fairly accurate. They do a pretty good job of keeping the religious fundamentalist nuts out of the debate.
But on more controversial subjects - politics, religion, history, etc. - there are a LOT of inaccuracies and biases.
