Thanks for the links! I find this interesting since I was having a lot
of trouble understanding an IEG proposal that I was reviewing:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Stepwise_Disclosure_Edition:_Wik…
Most people on the English Wikipedia have no problem hitting the edit
button, and a quick review of the talk page on Superspreader shows
that all of the people posting comments there feel totally comfortable
doing just that *except* for the student whose edits are under review.
Thanks to this case, I am now able to imagine a situation where this
IEG proposal functionality could be relevant. I believe this
particular superspreader case proves that publishing in "one blob"
like the student has done can potentially be disruptive, which is
interesting and puts that proposal into a totally new perspective for
me.
I would in fact say that this case proves that the functionality in
the IEG proposal is, in fact, undesirable.

The discussion is located at the talk page for the
article in question.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Super-spreader
Just to clear up where the significant on-wiki attention took place at (my
first guess was User Talk:Malke 2010).
Thank you,
Derric Atzrott

This now has gotten significant on-wiki attention.
List relevant but less important on-wiki (I hope) complicating factor - the
editor who was felt to possibly be OWNing the article is User:Malke 2010", a
female Wikipedian...

Hey folks,
On my phone, so I haven't read the talk page in question. But it looks like
a new female editor might be having a tough time on this article: maybe
somebody has time to step in and take a look?
Thanks,
Sue
