Wikipedia May Restrict Public’s Ability to Change Entries By Noam Cohen, New York Times (Jan 23)
WikimediaFoundation seems ready to put in system to prevent unknown users from editing entries on Wikipedia.
"The new system, called Flagged Revisions, would mark a significant change in the anything-goes, anyone-can-edit-at-any-time ethos of Wikipedia, which in eight years of existence has become one of the top 10 sites on the Web and the de facto information source for the Internet-using public."
Seems founder Jimmy Wales is very much in favour of it, but that the "volunteer community" has to agree first.
