[WikiEN-l] [Wikitech-l] Fwd: Wired: Wikipedia to Color Code Untrustworthy Text

[James Alexander]

How would the blame maps work with people editing around vandalism? For
example someone either blanks the page or does extensive vandalism to it
(especially over the course of a couple days or a couple users). I would
imagine it would be fairly easy if the bad contributions just got rolledback
but would the old blamemaps still be reinstated if someone went in and
manually copy/pasted the old version (or something very close) in or would
the system count it as a new contribution?
