I believe the point of wikipedia is so that anyone can edit the content? Its crowdsourcing so anyone should be able to edit the content. Correct me if I am wrong.

Quoting Bináris <wikipo...@gmail.com>:

I have an idea that should be revised by lawyers.

So let's store these pages internally, with no public access (no copyvio
yet).
Then make a button for registered Wikimedians with confirmed e-mail
address, protected by a captcha, that will e-mail the stored page. This is
not a public redistribution. With pressing the button one must state that
he/she will use the source for veryfing a fact or for correcting it, under
some kind of fair use. This may perhaps qualify as an internal use within
Wikimedia.

A similar example: I can easily check domain.hu for any Hungarian domain if
it is free or taken. But if I want to query the detailed record for it, I
must press a button and state that I need those data for private purpose,
and I am not a machine. That's where my idea comes from.
