Not to mention our stringent referencing requirements for all articles.

Wow, it looks like Wiki has 600 editors/admins.

Wikipedia used to be completely open - ie, anyone could just come in and create and/or edit articles.

Their new "tightening up" rule is that now only people who have created an account can create new articles, but anonymous users can still edit them.

Supermanica is tighter than Wikipedia, even with Wikipedia's new policy.  On Supermanica a user needs to create an account not only to start new articles, but also to do any edits.

This also helps to keep out the spam-bots.
