"Wikipedia's founder, Jimmy Wales, is proposing a system of flagged revisions, which would mean any changes made by a new or unknown user would have to be approved by one of the site's editors, before the changes were published.
This would mean a radical shift from the site's philosophy that ostensibly allows anyone to make changes to almost any entry." -www.bbc.com (full article here)
This has spurred a heated discussion that has reached a point where Jimmy Wales has asked the opposers to the proposed changes to the revision process to present alternative solutions.
It is becoming the more obvious that just like a democracy needs some degree of regulation to operate propely in countries, it needs some form of regulation to be successful on the Internet.
