This is not what ive meant

My idea would rather be that 

1. users on wikipedia could sign versions of a page or changes to a page,
   in the sense that the user reviewed it and considers it correct.

2. users could mark other users as trusted or or untrusted by themselfs

3. readers could with a short list of trusted users (and implicitly
   the whole network of other users that these trust more than not) view a
   page that just contains reviewed and approved content.
   That is more specifically the most recent reviewed version with
   all not neccesarily consecutive reviewed&approved changes.

This would give readers the choice to read a wikipedia article about
physics that was reveiwed by a well known expert in the field.
And
It would give experts the ability to write content without having to
fight eternally about it to keep it from being "corrected" by random people.
Who are well meaning but dont know what they do. They simply sign what they
wrote and if they have time in the future review and sign changes to it.

Many things microsoft did are stupid, but not doing something just because
microsoft did it is even more stupid. If everything ms did were stupid they
would be bankrupt already.
