[WikiEN-l] Times article (London)

[Andrey]

"An early version of an entry in Wikipedia will be written by someone who
knows the subject, and later editors will dissipate whatever value is
there."

This happens very often, particularly with good and featured articles. Many
outstanding pages have been eroded by anonymous know-it-alls
into utter uselessness once their main contributors left the project. Unless
we have content arbitration boards made up of professionals in any given
field, we are likely to see an increase in complaints and a decrease in a
number of knowledgable contributors.
