Wikipedia has ethics, rules, peer review???

I'm discovering the elaborate system that is Wikipedia. Why? One of my initial goals for starting my oral history project is to create a Wikipedia page about Dr. Alatis. Wikipedia does have strict standards for articles which are biographies of living persons; however, I feel that I will be able to abide by their standards as well as those governing the prohibition of original research. As long as I reference Dr. Alatis's publications and other publicly available material (including research I conducted at the Georgetown archives), I think this will be easy provided I apply the Wikipedia standards of neutral point of view, etc.

It is a really sophisticated system. I have often referenced it as a quick way to learn about a topic, but I had no idea how elaborate a community it was. It's actually really cool.

Anyway, you can check out my user page and see what I'm currently working on over there.
