I agree - is there any way that we could use markers or categories (maybe on the talk page) to 'certify' that articles have been checked by someone for g and s? It would limit the amount of duplication of effort, of course, it would only be much use for relatively stable articles. Mark
Currently this wouldn't matter as someone could come right after the article was checked and mess it up. I think what might be useful is to have an easy syntax to refer to a certain version. Something like: [[Wikipedia@4613311]] which would expand to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia&oldid=4613311 or some such. If we really publicised this, then it would also be better for those trying to quote something on Wikipedia without fear that their quote will no longer be in the article. They can do the quoting right now for older versions, but the most recent version doesn't have an oldID attached to it (since it's not old yet).
