	For years, [[vandals]] and [[trolls]] have written about the [[Hoax\|fictional biographies]] of several celebrities and prevented this as [[truth]] on Wikipedia. They claimed that [[Liberal\|Ted Kennedy]] died after a seizure (no, this wasn't the same one that killed him) and that [[John Seigenthaler]] killed [[JFK\|his brother]] from the [[Conspiracy\|Grassy ~~Knol~~]]. Needless to say, this false information caused major stirs within the media and tarnished Wikipedia's reputation. As a result, [[Jimbo Wales]] organized a team of developers and ordered them to develop a practical peer review system in order to restore the people's faith in Wikipedia.

	On August 14, 2010, Wikipedians started [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Pending_changes/Closure\|discussing the future]] of the extension, but ~~the community is divided as always~~.		On August 14, 2010, Wikipedians started [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Pending_changes/Closure\|discussing the future]] of the extension, and it was implemented in 2010. In 2011, the trial run was declared a success, and therefore had to be discontinued. In 2012, Wikipedia has had two RfC's to discuss the future of flagged revisions, but failed to implement them.
