--- Comment #41 from Stegop <[email protected]> --- Thank you for your reply, Platonides. Maybe your intention wasn't calling us morons, but it was exactly what was done when Nemo writes what he did 2013-06-20 12:19:00 about a poll with dozens with more than double or triple the usual participation in that kind of processes. Curiously that Nemo is the same guy who disabled the captcha without asking anyone and came to PT.WP writing in Italian (like it was a common language anywhere out of Italy), coming from nowhere saying that 2 weeks wasn't enough to decide a thing that the community has been discussing for months. But let's hope that such thing is hope. Now, let's try to be objetive: 1. The PT.WP presents a noticeable raising in invalid editions that take time to editors to correct since the captcha was disabled. 2. No matter which are the reasons for that, the same way that there isn't any clear opposition the test new methods, nobody from those who propose such things took the initiative of saying "ok, I'll try to implement this or that". 3. Me, and I suppose many more editors, are too tired of listening that "there are more effective means" and "we need studies", but are there any studies about the alternatives? Because our problem now is *real*: we have a great increase of vandalism that we hadn't without the captcha. 4. Being an IT professional (it's because of that I am not much interested in the technical details of things as I don't want to see wikipedia like a second job) I am toooo used to the usual difficulties in communicating with non-techs. But even the most geeky blockheads can understand that saying "I disabled that because it isn't the best solution" without pointing out a concrete alternative minimally tested is completely useless and will do no good to the sympathy of the customer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
