Vetting the cargo

> I don't claim to be a paragon of virtue, but whenever I update the raid wiki I try to remember to put a date against what I'm doing - not in the logs but slap-bang in the middle of the article or whatever, so anybody reading it is given a big clue as to whether it's up-to-date or further research is warranted.

And this has downsides too: if it's not metadata, eventually the article turns into a morass of dates and modified-by-this-person notes, because nobody making a change later knows whether their edits have obsoleted *everything* some other date note related to, so they tend to stay around... (I've seen this in its extreme form in 30-year-old codebases that were religiously maintained like this. It's *awful*. /* DCH 1990-04-14 */ /* LMH 1991-02-22 */ *everywhere*, many lines having multiple notes and hardly any having none. This is what a version control system is for, guys.)
