Get back to stable truth and knowledge. I’m not sure if this move isn’t to much a concession to move from the margins of innovation the center of recognition. Could be a commercial argument. The wikipedia was meant to be a testbed for an encyclopedia in the first place.
Wikipedia and the editorial rules: “[...] In an interview with German daily Suddeutsche Zeitung,Wales,who launched Wikipedia with partner Larry Sanger in 2001,said it needed to find a balance between protecting information from abuse and providing open access to improve entries.’There may soon be so-called stable contents.In this case,we’d freeze the pages whose quality is undisputed,’ he said.[...]
Update: a translation error misinterpreted a statement of Wikipedia´s Jimmy Wales. According to Ross Mayfield no new editorial rules in sight.
