Hi Kevin, I agree that the volunteer bandwidth for reviewing requested
edits on English Wikipedia is a constraint. There are several backlogged
queues on English Wikipedia at the moment, and I would be interested in
hearing ideas for how to shrink the backlogs. We can discuss on the English
Wikipedia email list, a village pump, or Jimbo's talk page if you prefer.
Just let me know off-list.
Thanks,
Pine

Yeah. Even in these dark days, journalism occasionally happens, and PR
people are keenly aware of the rows of severed heads the media has
stuck on spikes around its Wikipedia coverage. [*]

However, severed heads on spikes and not wishing to join them is the
main emotion here.
