[WikiEN-l] UK press: Guardian tomorrow

Thu Feb 9 15:56:52 UTC 2006

Hmm, not a bad article, but this bit is worrying:

""They've got an edit provision on there for the sake of editing when
things are not accurate," Mr Mische told the Associated Press.

"I presume that if they did not want people to edit, they wouldn't
allow you to edit." "

Somehow the 30 odd policies and nearly 200 guidelines specifically
relating to editing got overlooked.
