I was thinking of something different over the weekend. A Wikipedia Article Subjects Noticeboard, where people or organizations could post things which they object to (short of what the Office would *have* to deal with) and editors can watch and respond to normally.
That's the sort of idea I was thinking of.
Would enough regular editors actually respond? That's the only thing I'm wondering about.
I was thinking that the process could be something like "First, please post a comment on the article talk page with a detailed explanation of what you object to and why, and identifying who you are and what your official standing is. Then, add an entry to the top of the list below with template {{Subjectnotice|articlename}}, add some comments, and sign it... Please do so from a logged in account so that people can respond on your talk page as well as the article talk page." I haven't created the template (I have no idea how they work). Does anyone think this is a bad idea? Positive comments?
It sounds n00b-hostile. What's the lightest-weight process from both sides that would do the job?
