--- Comment #35 from The Blade of the Northern Lights <[email protected]> 2011-08-09 15:47:29 UTC --- I'd also add that most experienced editors won't touch NPP because 1. it's like drinking out of the sewer of articles (to crib from Orangemike) and 2. you become a Wiki-burakumin; no one really likes you. New users don't like it when we tag their advertisements for deletion, and experienced editors who only see the few misfires (granted, with the newer NPPers it's more like several, but for someone like me not so much) accuse us of tearing newbies' heads off. The system we have now isn't as effective as we'd like it to be, ergo we want to try something else. I'm the one who got this whole thing started, and I was the one who wanted a trial so that, if it is every bit the disaster described above, we can pull back from the ledge. But I can say that, with the system now, I've come across things that would expose the WMF to lawsuits (one was particularly frightening, because most English-speakers wouldn't have known just how bad it was). Anyways, we won't know what the effects will be until implementation, so instead of Doomsday scenarios we should instead get the hard data and see what happens. And finally, Jimbo himself said that he was happy that the discussion's result came out of empirical evidence; I'd like to keep it on that track. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
