The Wikipedia Paradox:

1. At the time that you are looking at a page how do you determine it's level of accuracy?

2. How do you determine if a page is "good editor" corrected or "bad editor" inaccurate?

3. Who decides who a "good editor" is? How are their qualifications determined?

4. What is the time frame for a "good editor" to correct a page and how is this time frame determined?

5. If more then one "good editor" wants to make completely different changes to a page who wins? Could it be the last one who edited it? But which is the truth?

6. If more then one person is "watching" a topic for changes and they both want to make completely different changes to a page who wins? Could it be the last one who edited it? But which is the truth?

7. Are there more expert or non-expert people with Internet connections on a certain subject that can edit that subject's Wikipedia page?

8. With no value assigned to level of expertise for editors per Wikipedia page how is the accuracy of the edits determined?

9. How is a "neutral point of view" determined on Wikipedia pages and who makes this decision? Could it be the person who edited it last? How is this a "neutral point of view"?

10. If Wikipedia is so accurate then why would anyone ever need to make corrections to it?
