clay··on Wikipedia to Add Layer of Editing to Articles
How about a more indirect approach. You could make a Yahoo Answer's type site using Wikipedia. People are encouraged to ask questions about particular sections that they don't understand or are lacking information and then points are given for answered questions with citations.

Or you could do something like this http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/raphaelh/publications/chi... and then reward answers with points.

clay··on The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant (2005)
I was surprised this wasn't posted here before. I would encourage everyone here to donate to the Methusaleh Foundation. You can promise to donate $25,000 and join the "300", which we're expecting will fill up by the end of the summer. :)
clay··on [dead]
How would being gay would interfere with a dad teaching his son what its like to be a confident and secure man?

The entire article is a great example of laughably bad clueless tech journalism.

I've heard improv classes go a long way.

I imagine there are a bunch of startup types scattered around the Dallas area and this seems like something that might have a really positive impact. I'm near UTD in Richardson personally so anywhere around here is a good choice :)
