::::If it was good enough for the University of California at Santa Cruz to have on their website, how could I possibly be concerned about it on my site? The only thing I think I would ask you to do, though, is to write perhaps an introductory lead-in explaining something to the effect of: "The following content was initially published on DATE on WIKIPEDIA by FT2. The content was later ''oversighted'' by an administrator who possessed the tools to make uncomfortable edits 'disappear' from public view. In fact, there is a Google cache that..." You get my drift.

:::::: It was that effort to "colorize" Wikipedia according to how much you could "trust" the content, on the basis of how long it remained unchanged in the wiki.
