Wikipedia promises to review writers and editors

by billso on Wednesday, 7 March 2007

After the Ess­jay scan­dal that I men­tioned ear­lier today, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has promised to estab­lish a sys­tem that review and approves the cre­den­tials of Wikipedia edi­tors. His state­ments were pub­lished by the Lon­don Times as part of their investigation.

Of course, this process might include back­ground checks and other sys­tems that Wikipedia is ill-equipped to handle.
