We havent seen Renee Mattie's name in the list for a time, so it's a
pleasure to welcome her back, and note her amendment to that Wikipedia
entry.

She wrote-

And I see that her toe-dipping, and her invitation, have triggered some more
attention to the Wikipedia entry on lunar distance, from Frank Reed, and
maybe others will join in. So perhaps we will get a somewhat more expert
entry on that topic than in the past.

Unless, that is, it suffers from the further tinkerings of well-meaning, but
ill-informed contributors, that seem to have bedevilled it recently.

This is the first time I've really delved into Wikipedia, and I am not very
impressed. Its intentions may be good, but there seems no way to prevent it
becoming a highly-efficient conduit for misinformation.
