Wikipedia talk:There is no deadline

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've reverted the recent edit to remove text, since if you check a large number of the links to this page, that's why it is being linked too. If people are linking to it for that particular reason, the essay should make that particular point, since people want it to. Hiding T 17:18, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I've been wondering, once a page has achieved good length and verificability, can't be updated, has no vandalism, errors, or anything else a good article doesn't have, can an admin make it so it can no longer be edited to avoid vandalism? I put this on this talk page so because it seems to contradict this, although I have heard of locking. Meisfunny Oh yeah! 00:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Articles can always be improved, even if it's just the prose. Therefore, locking pages is in almost all cases not desired. There are however talks to introduce Flagged revisions on en-wiki some day (maybe already this year), which is close to your described concept to stop vandalism. – sgeureka ^t•c 06:06, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
