en.wikipedia.org— From now on, Wikipedia incorporates a new process called 'Semi-protection' to deal with vandalism (in news recently). It will probably applied only on the most frequent targets.

I have always liked wikipedia and I want its credibility to be retained at any cost. Britannica even though a good encyclopedia is not free. So wikipedia wins in my opinion.
"nearly as reliable."Wikipedia's content length per article is nearly double that of Britannica for the sampled articles in that study, therefore, Wikipedia is actually better.
"Wikipedia locked the Richard Pryor page with that the day he died."Now, they use the "Protected" status for the page. The new "Semi-Protected" status is simply a weaker version of what they already have been using for a while (because they thought that protection was too strong).
Sorry to break from the herd, but every new wikipedia policy makes me hate it more.My prediction: eventually, anonymous edits will be barred entirely and new accounts will have to pay a small fee in order to gain article editing privileges.

To say this has nothing to do with the recent JFK incident would be a lie.
