Adam,
I suspect that you are missing a crucial point. Yes, there are errors on
Wikispecies, BUT they are (1) fixable immediately by anyone, and (2)
discoverable by way of the references cited. Many Wikispecies pages do not 
yet
have any references cited, but you can (as I do) think of these as 
effectively
empty pages that haven't been written yet, and ignore them completely, but 
they
are all you get on the likes of GBIF. Wikispecies empowers the user to 
verify
for themselves if they need to...

Stephen,

I was not "missing a crucial point" at all. Of course I realise I could 
spend hours and weeks editing Wikispecies, but my point was that I don't 
have time to do it.
