I agree with the basic sentiment, but there is also the possibility that a page is authored and/or maintained by somebody who welcomes help and edits from other contributors. I'd suggest that the guidelines could state that authors/maintainers should explicitly reserve the edit-rights to pages if they do not want others messing with them - similar to what is suggested above. Admittedly well-meaning people could mess things up; but it is, after all, a Wiki and it is possible to back out unwanted changes. Seems obvious to me after all this (and previous) discussion that some more guidance on the "Contribute" page would help to clarify what is and is not considered acceptable. Such a statement could be arrived at either by consensus or by edict of a benevolent dictator. :-) Phil
