Proposed changes to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, will mean that entries must be approved by a group of editors before being made. Currently, Wikipedia is free for everyone to post and edit entries except for certain protected entries. Making entries subject to approval will solve many problems - such as the current issue of people reporting dying celebrities as dead before they actually die - but runs the risk of changing the very nature of the 'egalitarian' site - a place where the general public can decide what goes in their own encyclopedia.
