Hello again, CW. It has been a while since we last spoke... I do agree with CW in the way that flagrev could be applied here to BLP articles. this is the one area where articles may have a clear and present impact on the lives of people. While I don't like any of the proposed solutions, I agree, something must be done. I am willing to accept flagged revisions in the interim. Perhaps if it goes well on BLP articles, an argument could be made to apply it elsewhere.
