I have noticed, however, that for smaller public wikis recovering from defacement can be a challenge. Still, I love wikis. At work, nearly every document we produce is a wiki, and people really love being able to just make updates without tracking down original authors and getting approval, etc. It's changed the culture of our shop dramatically. One thing I find interesting is that with our Zope intranet, newcomers often start by leaving comments on a document, but as they become more confident they just modify the wiki document in place.

I share your wonder. I'm glad I could contribute to a moment for you. --- The most memorable statistic from the Media Lab presentation was that within this massively-multi-author environment acts of vandalism are corrected within 90 seconds, on average. While not directly related to your point, it reminds me of the scale of things, and it suggests that Good is winning. Mark, I couldn’t have said it better myself. I share your wonder.
