I think wiki does need as it develops to be able to have some 'final' articles that, having reached a clear standard of accuracy, readability etc can be removed from the editing process. The downside of constant editing is that some articles that reach a high standard then can lose that as those who produced the standard leave and someone comes on and rewrites it to a lower standard.
I don't think that an article sould ever be /removed/ from editing, especially when we don't know what light the future may shed on it. Even EB doesn't stop editing their articles for the next edition. Rather, they /capture/ an article when it's good and publish that.
This is what the Sifter project is supposed to do. I doubt that the time will /ever/ come that people say �Look it up on Wikipedia -- that's a reliable source.�. Rather, they'll say �Look it up on /Sifterpedia/.�. Nobody's really working on the Sifter project right now -- but that can change at any time.
