"PoliticalBase is a new site offering wikis for politicians and issues.  The big difference between PoliticalBase and Wikipedia is that the features of the site steer users towards entering specific types of content, and all changes are reviewed by staff editors.  For example, on the page for Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, you can vote on your perception of the former governor in different areas, see his political affiliations, and find out where he stands on the issues.  There is also of course the standard biography of Romney that anyone can edit.\nPolitical pages on Wikipedia have frequently become battlegrounds, requiring the site to lock controversial pages such that they can only be edited by established users.  Thus, the idea of having editors monitor changes makes sense, though some users will inevitably argue that the editors are expressing a bias based on the changes that they choose to accept/reject.  Additionally, with the overhead required to pay a staff of editors to monitor all of the content, it seems like PoliticalBase would be just as well hiring editors to maintain the entries.\nOn the plus side, the site is well-designed, easy-to-use, and has an experienced team behind it.  PoliticalBase is founded by Shelby Bonnie, the former CEO of CNET Networks, who brought along a number of former CNET employees with him to launch the company.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
