Default Collaborative wiki - botanists needed

Hello,


We're creating a large wiki covering science and other fields and need
volunteer writers/editors.


The idea is to gather a group of 1000+ volunteers.


By restricting the edition of this wiki to scientists and amateur
scientists, we're mostly assured to get true and reliable facts for the
benefit of all.

Do you know any untrue facts?

Yes, linguistically a great deal could be said about "true facts"

However, what looks more worrisome is the "amateur scientists". This phrase
could apply to an enormous amount of people of quite varying descriptions.
