clr.wiki

Wikipedia is the predominant information source for the majority of the global population. However, it has come under criticism for a variety of issues in terms of admin control and subjectivity of articles. We propose a collusion resistant dispute resolution method for articles that go into the DRN flow of Wikipedia. Currently, a volunteer accepts to take the lead in a DRN request and then it is either resolved or failed, but vested interests. corporations can take advantage of this and push false narratives. see - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedia_controversies

With clr.wiki we are proposing a tool that can be used by wikipedia or other organizations that can pipe DRN requests and get back a commitment of the votes. This can be gate keeped, such that for example, only a particularly demographic can edit and update a certain type of articles and so forth.

We made use of the MACI wrapper and modified it by adding a contract that has the mapping of the slug and its latest information & commitment proofs. All articles are stored in ipfs, and the ipfs hashes are updated into a solidity contract called CLR. CLR keeps track of the latest version of the slug for eg. Singapore could be the topic and a proposer can choose to propose an edit. A volunteer could then perform the duties of the coordinator and create a poll to add the amendments. If accepted the new proposed version becomes the latest information.
