I've just been looking at these statistics: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:ValidationStatistics
The median time for review is nice and small, but the average is lot higher and the average lag is even higher - that means there are a small number of reviews taking far too long (in fact, about 10% take more than an hour) but most are being done nice and fast. I don't know the reason for that, but one possible explanation is that people are just reviewing edits they see while doing other things rather than actually going through the list of out-dated articles in order from oldest to newest. I think those stats are for both "sighted" and "quality" reviews, so I'm not quite sure which reviews are taking a long time, but sighting an edit shouldn't require any knowledge of the article, so doing them in order seems the best option. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
