I actually have great concern about how the interpretations on
pynchonwiki are going to be handled.  Not only do they present a huge
source of potential conflict, editorial content is also dearly loved
by those who write it, making it very difficult to debate.

I'm well aware of the power of wikis, and I've spent several hours
contributing to the one under discussion, but it isn't throwing rocks
to suggest that if the p-wiki is going to work some care and
consideration need to be given to how to handle the interpolation of
interpretation.  At the very least, it would seem that opinions should
be attributed within the article, not simply on the history page,
especially as the sections on p-wiki get quite large.  But it would be
nice to have a sense of how things will be decided there, and what
kind of content is appropriate.
