Dear John, Sorry if I did not follow that entire conversation, but I would like to support the idea that we need more communication with IP and new users. I am not peticular happy with the notion "stable version", which comes from software development and should stay there. What you have described is certainly not happening on de.WP or eo.WP (where I know "Flagged Revisions" from). Flagged revisions simply means that edits from new people are not immediately visible to the general public, that's all. Kind regards Ziko
