[LM_NET] SHARE: Wikipedia Trustworthiness

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

University of California--Santa Cruz has developed a "trustworthiness"
color code system for the content in Wikipedia.  Dubious content is
color-coded with an orange hue to alert the reader.  Obviously this
will be subjective....or so it is reported.  Here's the article and
the UCSC wiki relating to the project:
