Yep, at the top it says edit page.
I just did that and changed his occupation back, and somebody else (Dan I assume) altered his date of birth.

That is the basic principle of a wiki yes, a piece of software that allows you to create edit and link sites. I got that off the gadget show on channel 5

To stop people putting the wrong thing up and no-one being able to correct it.
Sometimes people make glaringly obvious mistakes, without realising, if anyone can edit them, the theory is, it becomes more accurate.
'Vandalism' is normally sorted quickly anyway, as it's quite a busy site and people fix it.

Theoretically, there are more good people than bad ones.
It must work to a certain extent, it has a lot of excellent information on there, so long as you don't mind verifying it.

I've found that I've sometimes changed pages (to add a reference or something) and someone goes along to check it pretty quickly, its such a big site theres always people moderating pages to make sure that things are as accurate as they can be.
Very useful, just watch out for obvious mistakes, and don't quote too closely.
