You see the problem now with the Bitcoin wiki. While the wiki has some valuable information, it also has a number of incorrect and cult-like claims about how Bitcoin works. Tim Swanson has made some good videos that describe some of the misinformation that often gets repeated on the Wiki and other places. I had suggested the info on the Wiki be reevaluated piece-by-piece and moved to Bitcoin.org but the developers didn't like that. Attempts to edit the Wiki often leads to the articles being defaced by the maintainers so that is a waste of time.
