Listening to Wikipedia Weekly (71) and reading the discussions on en.WP and nl.WP about implementation, it strucks me how inaccurate the discussions are. I do not know what is the reason for it, a poor presentation in the first place, a confusing terminology, hidden ideological motives... It is difficult to discuss something when people claim that it would take "ages" until an article is sighted, that people are prevented from creating articles, talk about the sighting of "autoconfirmed people" (has nothing to do with that). With my mentees in de.WP I never experienced that someone complained about the sighting process, the newbies took it as something normal and asked me friendly to do the sighting (often it was already done by someone else). Of course, if someone creates an article about a less interesting subject, it can take some days or even one, two weeks until sighting, but I don't see the tragic of that. Kind regards Ziko
