What I'm not sure about "wiki" is the inertial mass of the system.

Say some ill-minded person will edit an array-related faq by saying
that array exists as separate unity, it has length property and that
property indicates to the total amount of elements in the array ?
Also anyone who's capable to pronounce such terrible things can also
add a link at the bottom leading to some hard porno site or IE download
site.
So that guarantees do we have that this article will return in the
correct state in some period of time? How many visitors will read the
article in its violated state. And if no one will take time to edit
this article at all? I'm not sure how does it work in the wikipedia.com
