Well, there is some difference between 318 and 1,500 students, but that is unarguably too many for four non-Wikipedian CAs to handle. Too many for four Wikipedians to have handled, too, for that matter.<div><br></div><div>

I&#39;m not sure I follow your logic on the grad student bit, though. Don&#39;t get me wrong, being paid for my CA work would be great. However, paying grad students to do the work? Unless you&#39;re specifically talking about finding grad students who are also Wikipedians, it seems like you&#39;ll have the same issue. Paid or not, they&#39;re still not Wikipedians. I don&#39;t think the current issue with the CAs is that they don&#39;t have a monetary incentive to do the work. They just aren&#39;t familiar enough with Wikipedia to know how to handle some situations. Paying people who don&#39;t know Wikipedia will not change this.<br>
