Wait, I think I have it: launch another part of Wiki and call it, say, Wikihumana, where I can post something of alleged significance, candled by entries that would be important to the interests of the community and the education at large of our global existence for the good of scientific and spiritual health.

I think so, but i think wikipedia could remidie the situation by devising a way (navigator) to synthesize the community forming nature of facebook and myspace with the relevant facts individuals believe in, that are hidden within it's pages. Such a navigator would only work if it allowed anonymous users to be associated by data that they would mark as significant. If people are associated together by their work ethic, their interests and by what they find significance in history and culture they are more likely to produce quality independent publication that would enrich both wikia and their own communities. Does Wikipedia have anything like this?

Am launching a little magazine myself about enhancing the everyday, a little happiness companion called 'Spoonful' (TM). Perhaps I should consider Wikia... thea.
