+Don't do this - the material will not be assigned to the FSF until every contributor signed a paper form and filed it with the FSF.

+So simply claiming something is (C) FSF will not make it to be so, and it will not only have no effect, but also be confusing.
+
+Wiki has authentication, this is good. However, unless you have paper forms, all contributions remain with the original author. And if you had papers, you would have to disallow or moderate gues account contributions and either filter them out or change the copyright notice when they are filled in. This makes reusing Wiki-evolved content in free software projects by the FSF difficult btw, so don't expect major wiki-evolved content to be included in FSF manuals or so (this is not a problem, as long as everyone is aware of this limitation and keeps it in mind).
