Anyway, you can't, as standard user, trash or completly undo article into wiki. (except if you are a Power Being, i am not :)
I am not worried about what users may do to stories, I am worried about what the next person to read the story might believe after someone may do something. Sure, the something may be fixed up quickly, but mr or ms naive may read the story in the meantime.
A simple addition to the page template would give them all the information they need to put our site into it's correct context.
Anyway, i think that your source ask for MORE security, fiability and quality on wikinews than in Real Reality newspapers, don't he/she ? (ok, it's the goal but need time and willing peoples)
No, my source simply wants to know if people can alter the story willy nilly after I quote them. I will have to reply yes, they can, but I would like to be able to say 'but our readers are warned of this'.
Right now, I can say that our readers may know it, they probably will, but they may not.
it's my POV ... :)
Thankyou for it. I hope I will hear more of them ;)
Jacques,with a twisted humour sense for a very serious case.
