The only system which has a chance of reaching a 100% truth value , can
only be an open system. As wikipedia is exactly that, Mr. Robert McHenry
should step down from his Ann Coulter approach of discussion. As you may
know the Ann Coulter style of discussion is something like your sergeant
tells you the truth, and you can only say "Yes Sir!".

It depends what you mean by open. The wikipedia is akin to a linux kernel where anybody can apply a patch to the current official tree. I'd agree that a system needs to allow other to suggest improvements, but such improvements need to be referreed.
