That does seem rather similar. GMTA. Has there been
any coalescing behind this type of idea?

FWIW.
I believe he also relayed the idea to Jimbo so
perhaps this has already been circulated.
Johntex's idea is essentially a spinoff of an
"approved" version. He essentially proposed that
Wikipedia create an additional "tab" people could
click on to see the last "approved" version.
Everybody can still edit the non-approved version,
just as normal. And I guess, taking the idea out
to
its logical extreme, at intervals the two
versiosn
would be compared and any new information meshed
into
the "approved" version. This way
everybody can
still
edit and contribute, but anyone concerned about
ensuring the version they're looking at has been
vetted thoroughly could simply click on the
"approved"
tab.
Kate, it's very similar to this:
And it seems like it's the least disruptive, highest
ROI feature that
we could try, and the implementation would be
simple.
