Talk:Wikipedia plans to introduce new editing restrictions on articles

Some confusion

See w:Wikipedia:AN#Wikimedia_UK_announces_flagged_revisions for some background context. As I understand it, WP doesn't have any definite plans to turn it on as of yet, but is currently in the investigative/testing stages. Thoughts? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:29, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

The current wording "has planned to..." seem appropriate. Cirt (talk) 01:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I added the word "plans" to the title, to make it clear that it's not confirmed yet. Tempodivalse [talk] 01:33, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good. Cirt (talk) 01:34, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

That works, thanks. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:49, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

This article has some problems, mostly because it relies on the news reports that conflate technical work toward the ability to use flagged revisions on all BLPs with the actual, community-created plan: a two month trial that would only use passive flagging on BLPs and reserve the kind of flagging where unapproved edits aren't shown to readers as a replacement for protection/semi-protection. "Flagged protection and patrolled revisions" is still the actual plan, which is not quite what the news reports are describing.--ragesoss (talk) 01:58, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

What is happening?

The current blog post is a good deal more informative than this article. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 16:17, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
