How does giving someone special "approver" ranking jibe with the supposed equality of Wiki?
Well, Rick, I'm appreciative of your concerns. But I wonder what ideas you might offer for a viable methodology for selecting particular revisions of articles for a 1.0 release?
See the thread "Do we really need a Sifter project?" http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2003-July/011072.html on Wikipedia-L for a process which does not require special privileges other than for the final approval (similar to the deletion process).
