So when I say that the process is broken, I don't mean to say that we should not have a process. I mean that the process is clearly going astray when a page like the one we've been discussing on Palestinian views on the peace process are deleted.
I hereby propose a new, semi-automated tagging (in contrast to voting!) system: * All logged-in users (yep, my favourite phrase!) get a "tag this article" link for each article, leading to a "set tag" special page * Tags can be set for many things: copyright problem, NPOV problem, brilliant prose, stub, etc. * There's a "YES/NO" rabio button, so one can say "that's no copy vio" * A comment can be added, one per user per article. If a user changes his/her mind, the old comment is overwritten. * Special pages can be created from this information: ** Brilliant prose pages (sorted by number of tags) ** NPOV/copyright problem pages (sorted by date of first entry and number of tags) ** etc. * Some of this information can be displayed on the article page as well ("This article is considered [[brilliant prose]]")
I suggest to create a new "article tag" table in the database for that purpose, once we're back on the monster server.
