Editing Wikipedia (section)

=== Review of changes ===
Although changes are not systematically reviewed, the software that powers Wikipedia provides tools allowing anyone to review changes made by others. Each article's History page links to each revision.<ref group=note>Revisions with libelous content, criminal threats, or copyright infringements may be removed completely.</ref><ref name="Torsten_Kleinz" /> On most articles, anyone can undo others' changes by clicking a link on the article's History page. Anyone can view the [[Help:Recent changes|latest changes]] to articles, and anyone registered may maintain a [[wiki#Controlling changes|"watchlist"]] of articles that interest them so they can be notified of changes. "New pages patrol" is a process where newly created articles are checked for obvious problems.<ref>[[Wikipedia:New pages patrol]]</ref>

In 2003, economics Ph.D. student Andrea Ciffolilli argued that the low [[transaction cost]]s of participating in a [[wiki]] created a catalyst for collaborative development, and that features such as allowing easy access to past versions of a page favored "creative construction" over "creative destruction".<ref name="FMonday collaborative effort 1">{{cite journal |last1=Ciffolilli |first1=Andrea |title=Phantom authority, self-selective recruitment and retention of members in virtual communities: The case of Wikipedia |journal=First Monday |date=December 2003 |volume=8 |issue=12 |doi=10.5210/fm.v8i12.1108 |url=https://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/1108/1028 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161206104747/https://firstmonday.org/article/view/1108/1028 |archive-date=December 6, 2016}}</ref>
