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.
