This Wikipedia page needs to be updated. The reason given is: Mentions of outdated material, and doesn't feel like it's been updated since 2007. Please help update this Wikipedia page to reflect recent events or newly available information. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. (July 2021)

This page summarizes the various processes and structures by which Wikipedia articles and their editing are editorially controlled, and the processes which are built into that model to ensure quality of article content.

Rather than one sole form of control, Wikipedia relies upon multiple approaches, and these overlap to provide more robust coverage and resilience.
