That new information might not be completely fleshed out and presented in the perfect way, or maybe it is well presented but just hasn't been fact-checked by anyone other than the original author. It still is useful, though. Think of it like software development, with a stable and a current branch. There's bleeding-edge-not-quite-fact-checked Wikipedia and there's stable-fact-checked Wikipedia. All without forking or protection of pages. The trick I think is making "marker movement" a slower process than article development. That's where I think a process like the FAC process comes into play. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
