Rule about correcting pages

[AdAstra2009]

I think that pages once they are determined that they cannot be improved any further should be locked. That will prevent users messing around on pages.

I am already in the habit of protecting most of the pages I work on against Anonymous Users (or at least setting "Watch" alerts so that if someone makes a change, I'll see it instantly).

But I'm not sure we want to lock pages when judged complete, since that, too, can be subjective. You'd be surprised what I sometimes discover was missing when I get my hands on a Blu Ray version of a movie. Like when I re-did "The Siege" last week and noticed (for the first time) that there is an XM177/M203 in the movie, and a S&W auto at the end.

Then again, maybe we could lock the page itself, but leave the Talk Page open.

Hasn't that already happened with The Wild Geese page?
