::::Well, not really.  It changes things from "the encyclopedia where almost anyone can edit most articles" to "the encyclopedia where almost anyone can edit all articles, but it might not show up instantly on some of them".  You know very well that not everyone who presses that edit button is well-intentioned, or competent; the question has been (and remains) "how to deal with that reality?".  Protection and semi protection was one way, and now we're trying something else.  In the end, and that might be where we differ philosophically, I see "everyone can edit" as an invitation to participate that's accessory to the real objective:  a reasonably reliable encyclopedia.At any rate, I'm certainly not going to force anything onto you; just know that if you end up needing the bit you'll find no shortage of people to flip it on.  —
