I am sure that no matter what some percentage of the people reading this
will misinterpret it, but it might be a bit clearer to _start_ with the
word "edits" and explain what "approval" entails; "The edits of
anonymous or newly-signed-up editors will need to be approved by an
editor who's already been on Wikipedia for a while before they'll be
shown to other readers."
Jimmy Wales asked for a time-delay feature for casual
readers in late
2004; after very fast editing on the Indian Ocean tsunami produced a
very high-quality article
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake) very
quickly, but with some highly visible vandalism; we've hotly discussed
how to achieve stable high-quality editions of Wikipedia since almost
the start of the project, in 2001.
I like semicolons but there are too many in this paragraph. The first
should be a comma, the second a period IMO. And the last comma shouldn't
be there at all.
