The Wikipedia free-for-all is over: The Wikimedia Foundation will introduce a new editorial-review layer called “flagged revisions,” which will require any changes to articles about living people to be approved by experienced volunteer editors before going live, The New York Times reported.

The Wikimedia Foundation is making the move to combat incidents like one in March, when a 22-year-old Irish student posted a false quotation attributed to French composer Maurice Jarre shortly after his death, which ended up being included in obituaries in several newspapers, or one Jan. 20, when entries for ailing Sens. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Robert C. Byrd (D-W. Va.) were changed to falsely report their deaths, according to the Times.

The move also marks recognition of Wikipedia’s importance, as the Times pointed out that the Wikipedia page for the late Michael Jackson was accessed 30 million times since his death, with 6 million of those in the first 24 hours. New York University adjunct professor of communications Joseph Reagle told the Times, “Wikipedia now has the ability to alter the world that it attempts to document.”

Seattle lawyer and Wikimedia board chairman Michael Snow said:

We are no longer at the point that it is acceptable to throw things at the wall and see what sticks. There was a time probably when the community was more forgiving of things that were inaccurate or fudged in some fashion—whether simply misunderstood or an author had some ax to grind. There is less tolerance for that sort of problem now.
