I know. I was thinking on the basis that being so different, people could cheat by giving a bad 'learning' word. Originally, recaptcha showed two images apparently equal, although recently it seems to have changed, and it's clear which is the test and which the unknown. Although we could even plainly make the second one optional, letting the users choose if they want to help or not. We would get less trains but of higher quality. > I believe the trickiest part is creating a system to put results back > in Wikisource in a semi-automated way, but having "captcha reviewers" > may help. I was just 'defering' that :) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
