In any case I think affiliates are better placed to perform this kind of work anyway, since we'd want it to be done in more than one language and using diverse panels with members from more than just the U.S. But I do think it would be really cool research and the results would certainly be very interesting. It also makes sense as complementary to automated efforts, and then the results of the different methods could be compared to assess effectiveness of the review processes. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
