Wikipedia To Unlock Frequently Vandalized Pages

Posted by timothy on from the when-hitler-came-up-with-scientology dept.

netbuzz writes "In an effort to encourage greater participation, Wikipedia, the self-described 'online encyclopedia that anyone can edit,' is turning to tighter editorial control as a substitute for simply 'locking' those entries that frequently attract mischief makers and ideologues. The new system, which will apply to a maximum of 2,000 most-vulnerable pages, is sure to create controversies of its own."

    Lemme toss a grenade into this subject and ask a better question.....

    What the hell is wrong with you people? Who WANTS to be 'neutral' on the Taliban? If everyone here can't agree they are evil then there ain't no hope for our civilization. They executed a seven year old child. I don't give a rat's rear end why they did it. If they actually thought he was spying they are insane and if they did it to 'send a message' (more likely) then they are utterly, irredeemably wicked. And a society that can't bring itself to say that is doomed.

    So tell me, exactly what use is it to mince words and make a point of ensuring the Taliban gets a NPV article like they are 'just another point of view, equal to every other?"
