The core of Wikipedia is something people really believe in. That is too valuable for the world to screw it up.
People take issue with individual aspects of Wikipedia all the time. But it's kind of hard to hate the general idea of a free encyclopedia. It's like hating kittens.

Certitude is not the test of certainty. We have been cocksure of many things that were not so.
