unreviewed≠crap
Please, don't buy into what the Wikipedia naysayers spew. We have lots and lots of
good
content that is constantly improving;
Sure, lots of it. We also have crap, lots of it.
Then we need to work on identifying what article versions are good enough to be called
stable,
clearly label everything else as development, and tag appropriately within the
development
versions (NPOV dispute, clean-up, factual accuracy dispute, etc). We can use
delayed-editing to
slow down edits to some articles, protection where needed, and even some more clamping
down on
anons and newbies in ways that would reduce the load on the people cleaning up after them
w/o
harming recruitment of good editors too much. But we still have lots and lots of work to
do even
on the articles we already have, so we should not downplay development by hiding
development
versions.
