A fair few points to deal with.
Firstly, there is a peer review system, in that each item is open to re-edit and such. The Admin team are there to resolve technical flaws, clashes of personality (as opposed to opinion) and outright vandalism. For the clashes of the archaeological titans (should that be tight 'uns, as most people seem to hit the site after the pubs close?), there's a dispute resolution system in place. Patent nonsense can be reported as such and removed at the discretion of the admin panel - if it later proves to be valid (and I have my suspicions about the scaley nature of my great aunt, for one), reinstatement is also possible. The emphasis is going to be on the 'demand-driven' part and we hope to get people from all levels of education involved, for example, to let us know what material they want for their students. With such a large TV audience - getting material together for the subjects they're going to become aware of is also of interest.
One idea mooted was the 'reviewed' sticker. We're working on a coherent plan for that, along with flagging articles by 'consumer level' - i.e. School, University, post-Grad, idiots guide, and such.
As for your favourite... minority.. theories? There's also a place for those. The Conspiracy and Theory forum. Now, that was no asp-bite, was it? It was a fifth-columnist...
