Google Wiki and wikipedia

Google has invited selected group of people(me excluded) to try their new wiki model codename “knol”. Like wikipedia, it aims to encourage experts to write on the topic and share the knowledge. I love wikipedia for the information which they provides. However, the concern is the accuracy of the information in a Wiki-like site.

So my concern here is how Google will be able to ensure the reliability of it’s own wiki. There is a need to create a proper rating system to ensure that the writer is of some substance to share his/her knowledge. Hope that they have something in mind to ensure that.
