Wikipedia articles will be checked
Jimmy Wales, one of the founders of Wikipedia, shared information about the innovations that await this online encyclopedia. So, in the near future, the order of publishing materials on the Wiki may change. Articles will simply be moderated by resource editors.
It is clear that pre-moderation is not for nothing. Although Wikipedia does not yet have competing competitors ( Encyclopedia Britannica doesn’t count , the popularity is not the same), the authors of the resource still strive to ensure that only the most accurate and reliable information appears on the Wiki pages.

Which, however, is also not very good, since Wikipedia will no longer conform to the idea of ​​“a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit” (the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit). Now, if anything, have to register.
