Wikipedia has announced that they will test editing procedures on articles of living people, and although anyone can still edit entries, they will first have to be approved by an experienced Wikipedia editor before they appear to the general public.

This comes on the wake of embarrasing entries made that prematurely announced the deaths of Senators Robert Byrd, and Edward Kennedy.

Wikipedia has come under attack for a while for being too loose with their editing policies.  In the past, one could become an "Experienced Editor" after only a few days of use.
