What I learned from the Wikipedia article about Roselle: Basically whatever the Mayor wants on there seems to be on there....I would have added a few other things but do not wish to start a "the objectivity of this article is disputed" war on Wikipedia, which is notorious for it's inaccuracy.
The problem with wikis: anyone can post to them, so the accuracy of the information is highly suspect. Wikipedia is notorious for this. My personal favorite is "Conservapedia", the right wing version of Wikipedia. It contains gems of faulty logic that could be used to illustrate a course in that subject. A very on-task editor is needed to keep an eye on wiki- type postings that are affiliated with an organization.
The good thing about wikis: anyone can post to them, so it's a kind of community bulletin board, or can be.
Re: should this have been done as a wiki- I cannot formulate an opinion on that. I suppose it would have been fine to do it in that format, but this allows for more privacy.
