It would be good if people could correct articles and
post those, but we'd have to be very very careful
about this, and we can't be careful enough, so its
unfeasible. What if I posted an article and somebody
posted a "correction" that I disagreed with. I might
then get a bit pissed off, and post a corection to
their article, and so on. The resource could turn into
a sort of discussion board for people's ideas. I think
if people want to post another slant on an issue, it
shouln't be viewed as a correction (because nobody can
say it is more correct than the original) but rather
just another article.
