I joined Wikipedia on December 11, 2005, and spent a lot of time reverting vandalism. I am still trying to learn as much Wikipedia protocol as is possible, so that I may help those who contribute to, and learn from Wikipedia.
After a while, I realized that my actions were futile. While collaborative projects hold immense power, and Wikipedia has already proven its great potential, it is simply not a credible source There need to be two versions of Wikipedia; the current one (original), and one where edits to the original must be revised by trusted volunteers. Sure the credible version may lack much of the versatility and spontenuity of the original, but it will gain a level of respect far beyond what the current Wikipedia will ever be able to have. And don't forget that the original wouldn't be going anywhere. I don't know what sort of technical difficulties prevent this, but I feel that Wikipedia can't progress until it is done.
In the mean time, Wikipedia's policy of stating sources, must be reinforced much stronger. Post any comments on this idea on my talk page.

Is there any way that Wikipedia could employ an program which traks IP Addresses, such as that used by www.no-ip.com? This could be used to block vandals with dynamic IPs. Or simply to give credentials to anonymous users with dynamic IP's.
