Wikipedia Imposing New rules and restrictions on Editing

The New York Times today reports that within the next few weeks officials at the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit in San Francisco that governs Wikipedia, will begin imposing a layer of editorial review on articles about living people called 'flagged revisions'. The aim of the game is pretty obvious: improve the quality of information available on Wikipedia.
“We are no longer at the point that it is acceptable to throw things at the wall and see what sticks,” Michael Snow, a lawyer in Seattle who is the chairman of the Wikimedia board said according to NYT. “There was a time probably when the community was more forgiving of things that were inaccurate or fudged in some fashion —whether simply misunderstood or an author had some ax to grind. There is less tolerance for that sort of problem now,” Snow finished.
Already implemented on the German version of Wikipedia, flagged revisions will mean that any changes made to certain articles will not be visible on the site until an experienced editor approves them.
