While we need som...I have to agree with Kelly here. While we need some LIFO for the worst crap (copyvios, attacks, ...), most of the newpage backlog could very well be handled by looking at the bottom of the list first.<BR/><BR/>Many articles that started as obvious CSD end to be quite decent prose once settled for a couple of days (ok, a lot of crap -spam, garage bands- just remains accessible longer, but that's a small price to pay for the -small- amount of stuff that can be salvaged in the end). Quite interestingly, I found some items about towns in India, which is the same kind of articles that we are considering letting a bot write.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, even though this is sensible, I don't see the community taking this approach seriously any time soon. It's much funnier to whack a mole with Twinkle/Huggle and ask for perma-ban of editors experimenting with the system than to try to educate them (I admit I happen to take the easiest side once in a while).<BR/><BR/>We are losing contributions (who are sometimes outside our main 16-21 y/o male student average Wikipedian), and worst of all, we are having people who end bitter and either do us bad press or turn into something we have to deal with later. I don't know if WP is starting to get too big for its community to properly handle, or if this is just a feeling that comes with maturity (wiki-wise), once you've been there for a year or so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-658537951446112192.post-91792139807082573682008-06-01T21:48:00.000-07:002008-06-01T21:48:00.000-07:00First-in first-out patrolling makes so much more s...First-in first-out patrolling makes so much more sense than the LIFO "everyone gang up on the same edits" approach used by the lightning-reflex RC patrollers today.<BR/><BR/>In my reason, the reason that FIFO patrolling has never caught on is that it requires coordination and takes away the competitive aspect of beating ClueBot that so many current RC patrollers get off on.<BR/><BR/>You can take the MMORPG player out of the MMORPG, but you can't the the MMORPG out of the MMORPG player.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107127399494404366noreply@blogger.com
