I wasn't saying you can't update your own article! The
guy was talking about editors changing it, hence I
mentioned editorship....
Of course once we get a decent system running we'll
talk about allowing people to update articles (cuz of
course we'll have to think about moderating
alterations too), but until then its a bit of a mute
issue. But we cannot allow "editors" to start changing
the text of submitted articles, is the point I was
getting at!!!
