Wikipedia has introduced moderation
Wikipedia will have editors to work with the published articles. Ąt first Free Encyclopedia will introduce more stringent rules only in the German segment, which is most affected by users' vandalism. Before the new information appears on the site it will be checked by moderators.
The site administration says that the innovation would not entail strict censorship. The task of the moderators will consist only in removing unprintable expressions and verifying the authenticity of the published facts. All disapproved articles will remain in the system and they can be edited.
