I was checking out GC on wikipedia trying to read some history of it and came across a sentence stating: "100% of all families surveyed were rednecks."

my wife is from Gate City, and she doesn't care to tell you that she is a redneck.
I also am from GC and do not consider myself one. I feel there is nothing wrong with it but 100% of those surveyed said they was is what baffles me. I consider myself as a Cherokee Indian. I have only a small percent of the blood but that is where my heart lays.
I wouldn't get too upset about this as I seem to remember Wikipedia in the news in the past concerning it's credibility.

If the pages can be edited by users what is to stop anyone from typing whatever they want?

Moderators and users alike keep an eye on things very well... for example, the "Rednecks" statement is now gone and probably won't come back.. and if it does, it's really easy to take it back off again.
They even took my name off, there goes my claim to fame.
