Personally, I feel that as individual articles mature,
imposing greater
control over the content development process is a natural and in many cases
neccesary part of Wikipedia's evolution as we move towards greater quality.
There are many high profile, well-developed articles where well over 50% of
the recent edits are consumed by vandalism and combatting vandalism, and
that is a wasteful use of people's time and resources.
Hear hear. See [[List of countries]] for an example!
