On Wikipedia, I struggle with two issues:

• Accountability versus anonymity and privacy. (In other words, how can we hold people accountable if we do not know who they are?)

• What is plausible[1] versus what is factual.

Our society suffers from our propensity to accept what is merely plausible, rather than demand what is factual. I am particularly annoyed by written communication that does not cite applicable law or judicial decisions. For example, it is ridiculous that the White House website's page about the Executive Branch did not, for quite some time, contain even a single reference to the U.S. Constitution's Article II.

I tend to watch articles about things geographically close to me.
