YOU may, in the course of reading this article, spot a factual error
that made it to press. A certain bit of grammar may makes you bristle,
or you may think the writing is biased. But by now the ink has dried;
all you can do is send an e-mail message or a letter of complaint. 

If this article had been published on Wikinews, a Web site begun
recently, there would be something more you could do: change it, fix it,
expand it or delete it.

Wikinews (www.wikinews.org) is an experiment in collaborative news
gathering and reporting, and the latest in a collection of Wikis
(pronounced WIK-eez or WEEK-eez) under the umbrella of Wikimedia, which
cultivates free and open information resources written by its users.
