I was looking at wikipedia and noticed an equation that was incorrect. I went in and changed it, got abused by a rogue moderator who changed it back and left insulting remarks, was not helped by the other moderators, left and never returned.

If you care about your information being correct, wikipedia is not the place for you. If you like "rule by the obnoxious" than go for it.

It is not an authoritative reference source, it is a gossip blog, or an AOL Chatroom with an index. There are too many peer-reviewed, legitimate resources on the web to waste one's time with references that cannot be cited in a serious work.

Yes, there is entertainment value in pipefitters teaching Tensor Calculus, I suppose.
