Perhaps you might consider the concept of a 'vestibule' or 'conditional
acceptance' of material that everyone could view, but would realize that it
was possibly flawed or redundant.  The purpose would be to encourage
contribution with fear of 'damaging' or accidentally introducing mistakes
that would affect others.

We all want to be correct and complete, but growing into and up with a
language as rich at Transcript is daunting.  Those needing info that has
been reviewed could request viewing only that, but those willing to learn by
working with all of the material could choose to do so.

It may only be that material is labeled 'new', 'untested', or such, but then
the user community would have a better feel for the guidance.

Also, I would like to see a mod date or something, since the internet is
filled with data from 1999, but no way of knowing.

My 2 cents worth, at least it was a the turn of the century.
