wasn't the point of Wikipedia that anyone could edit?
Actually, some topics can only be edited by people who login. This happens to pages that are likely to be trashed (for example, the entry for George Walker Bush).

Wikipedia is often prone to trashing.

BTW, if anyone is interested, someone might want to contribute an XSL entry to this:

I just stumbled upon the wikipedia page for XSLT:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSL_Transformations

In the examples there are a couple of mistakes - in example 1 there is:

<xsl:template match="//person">

and in example 2 there is:

 <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
 <xsl:output method="html"/>

 <xsl:template match="/persons">
        <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
        <head> <title>Testing XML Example</title> </head>
        <body>
                <h1>Persons</h1>
                <ul>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="person">
                        <xsl:sort select="family-name" />
                </xsl:apply-templates>
                </ul>
        </body>
        </html>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="person">
        <li>
                <xsl:value-of select="family-name"/>,
                <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
        </li>
 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

a bit harder to spot that one....

Is anyone on the list an editor?
