Why bother with an algorithm in the first place. Wikipedia is good for learning facts. If someone wants to know what Mary's room experiment was, they can find it. But if they want to know who did it and what kind of a person he is, should they not be referring to two or more sources? I guess the problem with credibility arises only when there is an opinion involved. It might work , sure, but when you come to know that the article is one big lie, would you not do some more research on finding out what is right? And if you see the page is clean, would you stop at that point?
Sun Tzu did that. Statistics is just analysis of data, and its what data you analyse that gives you a good result. If you take into account the number of UN troops to Dafur and the local population stats, you might be wrong, because you forgot the tactics that can be used against a conditioned millitary force(Guerrilla warfare). some data might is intangible, and we need a new science that does quantitative analysis of these intangible expertise.

Somebody please say "There is nothing to see here... Move along".
We can have a realistic discussion about IPhone after 2 months, not before that.
