We are getting somewhere else than I wanted... I didn't want to discuss what should be reverted on sight or not. Problem is that right now lot of vandal-fighters see certain amount of dubious edits they skip because they can't verify if they are correct or not, which are then ignored and get lost in editing history. That's a fact. This problem could be easily solved if these specific edits could be highlighted somehow so that they would get attention of people who understand the topic well enough to check if they are OK. But there is no such a system / mechanism that would allow us to do that. I think this is worth of implementing somehow because it could significantly improve the reliability of encyclopedia content. There is a lot of vandalism that remains unnoticed even for months
Really, you have just described FlaggedRevs. It could be enabled by default for all articles and would solve all of your problems. Many large Wikipedias already use it, including pl.wp and de.wp. -- Matma Rex _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
