Many of the course blogs have had links to articles about Wikipedia and other wikis. Here is an article from the New York Times about limits added to Wikipedia. I believe you need to register to view it. Sorry about that.
The general point of the article is that some entries (like Albert Einstein, human rights in China and Christina Aguilera) have been protected from all editing due to "repeated vandalism." Other entries have been limited to editing by users who have been registered for at least four days.
Has this change to Wikipedia resulted in something fundamentally different? What ramifications does this really have? How important is it?
Only time will tell.
