I can imagine the complaints and hurdles. The discussion is it possible? Could it work?

To your specific questions, if there's no page-protection option, can there be? If it's absolutely impossible, then the moderators would have to keep an eye on those things. Also, I think there would be parts of the project that would be vehemently opposed, but others who wouldn't care one way or another, and some who would welcome such a space with open arms.

I don't know about EEML. I will read that.

 

 

The EEML (Eastern European Mailing List) was an invitation-only mailing list populated by a group of editors who supported each other in content contributions, deletion discussions, and other on-wiki activities related generally to the Eastern European region of the world (including articles on the  history, economics, politics,  notable persons, geography, etc. of the region).  The mailing list was non-public.  Almost all participants on the list were very significantly sanctioned (including some permanent bans, some topic bans, and a desysop) because of the attempt to manage content in a non-transparent way, in addition to the entire canvassing aspect. 

 

There was once a Wikichix mailing list, moderated and very similar to the one described by Lightbreather.  It died a slow death several years ago because, essentially, nobody really had much to say there, absent the ability to discuss actual content.
