Wikipedia – How Spamming Is Prevented

spam-preventionwikiwikipedia

Anybody can alter wiki contents, and I am wondering "How does Wikipedia prevent spamming?", when even not registered members edit the contents. What you think about it?

Best Answer

Crowdsourcing

Wikipedia has many editors, each editor is usually subscribed to change notifications of the article they created/edited during their Wikipedia activity life span. When you make an edit, one of the editors reviews it and if it's spam he will revert the change to the article previous state.

Wikipedia relies on people to filter out the spam, you can do this too by going to the history tab.
