Right. I guess Wikipedia has plenty of staff to keep an eye on it. If you're
like me and leave it for weeks at a time, it's terribly distressing to come
back and find it covered in graffitti. Yeah, you can roll it back, sure, but
you have to be really on the case with this or you quickly lose your
readership.

Wikipedia seems to be doing great. As long as you have an history
option to roll back and a mechanism to detect and temporarily ban ip's
based on anomaly behavior, like updating 30 pages in 2 seconds, I
think a wiki works.
If I look at f.ex the page for synthesis and I see viagra there, I'll
just revert the page to whatever suits me and the next person will see
the page as that. There is really no maintenance to a wiki.
I don't want to come off rude and I can't say that I've tried myself
to run a wiki,
