A lot of Facebook pages give you info and look like a wiki page.
For example if you type Peanuts then you will get a wiki-like info page and some other pages that allow posting. It's true for most pages for a famous person or a band.

The problem is that when you see search results, you can't tell which is the wiki info page and which are the regular. Besides if you want info there's Wikipedia.

I logged into FB, typed in "Peanuts" and the search results look nothing like the search results from Wikipedia....

FaceBook:

Facebook pages that are like Wikipedia-screen-shot-2013-05-21-10.24.53

Wikipedia:

Facebook pages that are like Wikipedia-screen-shot-2013-05-21-10.24.17

Yeah the picture is the same but to make the comparison based on that is ludicrous....

Then I tried the search on my favorite commie pinko, "Jane Fonda":

FaceBook:

Facebook pages that are like Wikipedia-screen-shot-2013-05-21-10.34.11

Wikipedia:

Unless one has consumed too much kool-aid I can't fathom how one can be mistaken for the other....
