Wikipedia Gets Tougher about Submitting Articles

Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia which allowed any user to instantaneously make changes to submitted articles, even delete entries, regardless of whether that person has any expertise in the subject or not, has announced a new set of rules. From now on, it will force users into first registering and login in order to be able to upload new articles on the Wikipedia encyclopedia. Still, the website doesn't require the user to have any special training or expertise in a certain area so that he can submit an article regarding that domain.

Users will still be able to operate changes to any existing article without having to log in first.

The announcement comes only a few days after John Seigenthaler, a one-time administrative assistant to Robert Kennedy, complained in an op-ed published in USA Today that a biography of him on Wikipedia said that he had been suspected in the assassinations of the former attorney general and his brother, President John F. Kennedy.
