The problem lies in how (a) Google values Wikipedia ...
[rhetorical verse/haiku sequence]
Once upon a time /"human-edited" meant "good." / NOTE: "Directories."
Humans can't keep up. / Not a volunteer army. / Too much data flow.
Microsoft tested / Looksmart directory links ... / Lowered search quality.
Even ODP ... / Google "did the math" with that. / Too much junk data.)
BUT lately observe / Google - Wikipedia / How links are valued.
That too's a mistake. / There's not enough editors / to "guarantee" facts.
Only the obsessed / will "eagerly" "protect truth" / Who else has the time?
AS LONG AS GOOGLE / remembers "human failings" / there is no problem.
THE BOTTOM LINE: / Wikipedia's human. / Google should not be.
