Yes, good point Ed. This is bringing to mind some of the trickier editorial decisions we had at the Signpost, the mere memory of which gives me a headache. I still like the concept, though. Maybe try limiting the number of posts that get through to a set number, and minimize the public discussions about why any one post is choosen over others?

We can set it so that we get notifications when people post before they appear, so we can gate-keep. We could have a theme for the day: Post an article you edited or especially like, etc.Posters would probably get a LOT of attention on Facebook, so we might need to warn them about that.We don't need to decide now.Jeff ElderDigital communications managerWikimedia Foundation
