"Mr. Wales calls vandalism to the encyclopedia 'a minimal problem, a dull roar in the background.' Yet early this year, amid heightened publicity about false information on the site, the community decided to introduce semi-protection of some articles.
Once the assaults have died down, the semi-protected page is often reset to 'anyone can edit' mode. An entry on Bill Gates was semi-protected for just a few days in January, but some entries, like the article on President Bush, stay that way indefinitely. Other semi-protected subjects as of yesterday were Opus Dei, Tony Blair and sex. "
