I thought wikipedia mods are overly zealous with checking submissions by new users.
Seemingly not so. Kinda worrisome

    The problem is that the volume of slop available completely overwhelms all efforts at quality control. Zealotry only goes so far at turning back the tsunami of shite.

    I'd assume Wikipedia implemented a whitelist rule for trusted edits and new accounts edits are hold in limbo until they are confirmes entries, no?

    If Wikipedia actually allows for live edits to the page without any further checks, it seems very naive or very stupid to me.
