Hello! I have been an anonymous user on Wikipedia since 2003, and mostly contributed good articles and edits, but sometimes edited to make a point. I have come out of the shadows for I believe in the philosophy behind Wikipedia, and think it is better to contribute honestly and cooperatively towards a worthwhile goal.

I am mainly interested in archaeology and history.

My significant contributions (either beginning or expansion) are to: Edward Clodd, Morris Ernst, Hilda Morley, Vicente Rocafuerte, Kutik-Inshushinak, Choqa Zanbil, List of rulers of Elam, Liber Linteus

A little code I sometimes need:

My Tuppence

I think that featured articles ought to be tagged at a revision that is known quality, but edits allowed to continue. A user can then either choose to see the articles with later edits, or a 'proven' article (anonymous users would have this second choice as default). This would allow a core of good quality articles to be available for research, which could be used with confidence in their credibility (a mark can be put on the page), while not greatly affecting access to editing. If major revisions are made to a featured article, it can be reassessed, and its tag moved forward to take in the new edits and make them visible to all.

This would mean two things:

  1. anonymous IP's would effectively be blocked from editing featured articles (for they cannot access the latest version),
  2. there would be no need to fork into 'academic' and 'popular' versions of the encyclopedia for both would exist at the same time, with one beneath the other, where appropriate.
