I do not want amateurs, be it well-meaning or malicious, write about
security related subjects in a Wiki, because that might (in the eyes of
casual visitors and search-engines) cause their scribblings to be
confused with facts. The amount of BS that can be found on Wikipedia is
case in point.

A Wiki about encryption with write access limited to people who
demonstrably understand the math sounds like a good thing to me, but a
"Community Wiki" does not. Community usually (and sadly) means too many
loud-mouthed, attention-seeking bozos.
