Call from Nicole Martin, Daily Telegraph, asking after the article that was in yesterday's New Scientist: http://technology.newscientist.com/channel/tech/mg19526226.200-wikipedia-20… (full article only with login) The NS article apparently talks in detail about "only editors with 30 edits in 30 days" and so forth. I said that wasn't set in stone at all - there will probably be a low hurdle like that, but all the details are still being worked out. Points I repeated a few times: * Casual readers will see the marked-stable version by default, logged-in editors will see the current live version * Anyone can still edit, anonymous or not (you still won't need a login to fix a spelling error) * Details are NOT fixed yet, resolving over the next two months * Almost certainly will go live on German Wikipedia in November this year * No timeline for other editions, particularly English, though we're enthusiastically watching * English has notably worked to increase quality over the past couple of years, adding references, marking unreferenced articles, etc., so readers will at least know what they're getting * http://quality.wikimedia.org/ - I asked her to include the URL in the article, strongly suggested she read up on things there. (Please correct me as needed!) The article will be in tomorrow's paper, likely to go online tonight. - d.
