a quick summary
here. Wikipedia does something _right_ by letting
everyone edit. The
underlying philosophy is that everyone starts out as
innocent
This is equivalent to saying existing users have superior
knowledge to new users. That may be in terms of wikitech,
wikilawyering, wikipolitics, etc., but not knowledge of
whatever articles they happen to be editing. You're
claiming that the same thing you claim is wrong about the
admin approval, to be suspicious of the admins intent,
reliability, and knowledge, is actually being applied, at
the very least, to every new user.
It seems the ruling policy, NPOV, is inherently suspicious
and it's not really a problem to be suspicious from the
ground up.
