I would like a response from members. Michael Dempster informs me:
“Hey, the ediathon seems to be going well. However an editor has said to the community they don't want to edit any more because there's "a likelihood that a whole lot of articles will be deleted" is that still the case, do you know?”
Well, I don’t know, but we should NOT delete any of the articles.
What we NEED to do is make some sort of indicator on the site so that people know that an article has been reviewed, edited, and approved.
How can we (1) inform the editors and (2) make this happen?
Thanks, Michael Everson

He is well aware of the issue and has been inundated with calls for radio interviews even from NPR in the US. I would like to recommend that he be added to this mailing list so that we can discuss approaches to the issue.
