    What truly grinds my gears about Wikipedia isn't the amount of false information but the amount of uncorroborated info. The amount of times I've read an article that made large, sw…

    And they're incredibly unpopular. The entire problem is that people weren't inspecting PKGBUILDs. At least with user repositories, you have someone who can build a reputation for t…
