Online Vandals Force Wikipedia to Lock Down Entries
James Middleton writes on vnunet.com:
In a bid to curtail vandalism and malicious entries in the free online encyclopaedia Wikipedia, the publication’s editors have today officially implemented a semi-protection policy for certain articles. Essentially, the measure prevents newly registered users and all unregistered users from editing pages.
However, the Wikipedia editors said that semi-protection is only to be applied if a page is facing a serious vandalism problem. “It is not an appropriate solution to editorial disputes of any kind since it may restrict some editors and not others,” the publication said.
