<groan> The George Bush page is not going to be part of this trial, because there is no reasonable chance that the tiny, tiny percentage of useful edits will make up for all the vandalism and BLP violations that will be added.

Interesting - really? I was really hoping to see this tried to see whether it could work on such an article. Can you link me to the discussion about this, please?
From a media contact point of view: one of the first things the media want are examples where it will be used, which is somewhat of a difficult question to answer when a) the community hasn't made its mind up, and b) even if it has, the community can change its mind at any time. ;-)
Thanks, Mike
