Bush, there is a lock. These articles may be prone to vandalism, but are also replete with well-documented information. By limiting the individuals who have the right to alter an article for any reason, vandalism or otherwise, endorsement of the existing version is implicit.

It may be semi-protected, which blocks anonymous non-registered and new users from editing it, or fully protected, in which case administrators are the only people who can edit. Protection is a vandalism or dispute resolution tool, used when an article has been hit heavily by vandalism or is in the middle of an edit war among a number of users; it isn't an endorsement of that particular version of the article.
