Better? <img src="http://linuxchixla.org/images/in_and_out_2.jpg" width="200" /> <br clear="all" /b> And the Wikipedia Flagged Revisions is a new thing. They've always keep the revision history, which is heavily used by the Wikipedia vandal squad, but with Flagged Revisions, newly edited content will need to be vetted before appearing on the public page. No more immediately available revisions. LOL! Better?

They are much more appealing than that (and the internet definitely does not do smell yet or the picture wouldn't matter). I thought wikipedia had been doing Flagged Revisions for quite some time. Essentially, they keep a backup of pages for a day or two to ensure that any vandalism can be corrected quickly. It is not a restriction, but more of a precaution.
