Or rectify it themself! This is the wonderful thing about wikis. We'll 
need a policy on what is and isn't acceptable. Some things are obviously 
SPAM, but others are not. Do we allow information promoting commercial 
organisations of any sort? I personally don't have a problem with that 
in moderation but it's something that should be open to discussion.

Eeek, is the only solution to lock the pages? I'd avoid this if at all 
possible as it's reverting back to the old system of some pages which 
are not editable. Which pages are locked?
