I'm liking this double-script thing with the alternation between Ozy, Millie, and Isolde/ Llewellyn and the skunk.

*Regarding the subject matter of the strip...*

Since when does anyone need permission from the neighborhood to do what they want to their own land?

Communistic nehiborhood?

Legally, you don't. I believe a neighbourhood association is a lobby group who are overly concerned about property prices.

Well...all I have to say about this strip is this...

I simply said it was your friend. I never said it was a reliable source of factual information (and my boss at ITCan did stuff like that too).

Oh you did not just refer to Wiki as a good source of information, did you? It has good bredth, it has some good articles, but it also has 30% more errors than the Encyclopedia Britanica. Also, wikipedia will inevitably go with common knowledge, which isn't always correct.

In Wikipedia it's very easy to see who made what change (incase IP bans are needed) as well as to roll back changes in case of vandalism. It's easier to fix vandalism than it is to make it.

Richard K Niner · Postby **Richard K Niner** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 8:52 pm

Well, not really. You can only spot factual errors in Wikipedia if you already know the information in the first place, which means thet you're less likely to look it up in the first place (unless the error is incredibly obvious).

The real challenge is identifying that vandalism has occured.
