User:WellOiledMachine/Wikipedia released

Wikipedia doesn't need a single new line of code to have reliable, stable, released article versions. All we need is a spine.


 * 1) -Validate an article;
 * -community needs to codify criteria.
 * -community needs to codify mechanism for implementation
 * -validation should concern the accuracy, neutrality and basic encycleopdiac format
 * (featured status should be a separate rating)
 * 1) -Once Validated, protect the page and direct new editing to a /Work_in_Progress page
 * -software enhancements can eventually add a Third Tab for this purpose
 * 1) -When the WIP page surpasses the released version, then promote. Repeat cycle continuously

Notes:
 * Will allow continuous revision and improvement of released articles
 * Software can help with both validation and history/attribution management, but isn't necissary
 * Eliminates all transitory vandalism of validated pages
 * Identifies which parts of the Encyclopedia are reliable for our readers

How to get started
 * Pick a page and do it, develope criterial and mechanisms as we go
