Freewheeling no more...Wikipedia tightens reins

A recent NY Times article, Wikipedia to Limit Changes to Articles on People , reported changes to Wikipedia entries on living people. Wikimedia Foundation has imposed an editorial sign off before any change can go live.

Lila is thrilled that Mr. Wales, one of Wikipedia's founders, acknowledges the huge impact of his little encyclopedia and is seriously considering how readers are using its information.

"We have really become part of the infrastructure of how people get information,” Mr. Wales said. “There is a serious responsibility we have.”
