Quoted from the article,

Internet encyclopedia to ask some writers for credentials
• Contributors will still be able to remain anonymous
• College dropout wrote for site claiming to be a professor
• Anonymity is a main force behind Wikipedia's growth

This could only be an improvement since so many of us that are glued to a seat in front of a PC (or MAC, whatever dude!) rely on that website for some quick education on topics.

This is a step in the right direction. I've seen too much pranking going on. Still and all, a valuable resource.

It is a good step, but not an easy one. A programming language I use was recently about to be pulled as "not significant", and the criteria to establish significance are fairly arbitrary.

They're getting better...
