One of the oldest medical wiki's with over 1,100 articles, tens of thousands of unique visitors and recognised as a source of note by Wikipedia. <BR/><BR/>We have added two key gate keepers for the sites integrity in the last four months:<BR/><BR/>1. Only authors we approve are allowed to post. They have to submit a CV of their credentials, be approved by the site editors and also confirm their email address.<BR/><BR/>2. When an article is posted, it can be approved by an editor and this status is shown. E.g. take a look here: http://www.wikisurgery.com/index.php?title=Riaz_Agha – the blue box under the contents give the reader that reassurance that the article has been approved. This feature was recently added and we are going through more articles and approving them.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards<BR/><BR/>Dr Riaz Agha<BR/>Founder, www.wikisurgery.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
