Hey - that's not the idea of a wiki! Authors implies ownership, and that's not we want on a public wiki. Can we please reconsider the Author system?
Read [1] or search on Google for The Great Failure of Wikipedia. Citizendium tries to achieve something like ownership but still fails a little bit since it's goal is to reinvent the wheel. I saw a great critical article on some random blog about this, don't remember the link though. I think ownership is a good idea. Public wiki is prompt to vandalism while ownership tends to make authors collaborate and create consensus and coherent style between articles. I tend to vote for ownership with public abilities.
