[...] I had been thinking this problem could be addressed, at least in part, by having editorial review of some sort. The collaborative filtering model comes to mind. Rather than a free-for-all, however, I'd probably shoot for having certain registered reviewers who were trusted to be skilled in the language, possibly with varying levels of trust. If 20 trusted reviewers reviewed (on average) 10 usage examples per week, and each example had to be reviewed by at least two different reviewers to catch mistakes, we'd have 5200 doubly-reviewed usage examples within a year. Now, whether or not there are 20 capable and willing volunteers is another question. mu'omi'e randl.
