I really like elian's idea of user-added star ratings to articles.  I
don't have it handy, but it was like

*     pathetic stub
***** Britannica grade

Then you could set your wikiviewer to show any rating, one-star if you
were looking for work, five-star if you were looking for information,
etc.  No bureacracy, no cabal, no weird standards for hiding
information.  Much more, as elian said, the wiki way.

|Dear M, 
|
|Neither of the scenarios you suggest is likely to occur with me, or with any of the dozens of others whose work I've come to repect.
|
|If I see the "hidden changes exist" flag, then of course I will either:
|* read the current version, or
|* use the "History" and "Diff" links 
|to see what you call the wild changes, before editing.
|
|But if a shortcut to 'edit the version currently displayed' would cause more harm than good, I have no objection to its being omitted. When I need to revert vandalism, I can just use the "History" link as always.
|
|Do you still think there still something fundamentally, um, bad about the way of creating an encyclopedia that Erik and I are discussing?
