Here's another possibility. Wikipedia Review's "Articles" forum was
initially designed to discuss article content in depth, and point out
any specific problems in language, structure, sourcing, whathaveyou. It
has rarely been used for this purpose, but if and when a user did post
another in-depth evaluation, it certainly could be beneficial to point
it out on Wikipedia.
How?
Um, so the article could be improved? I'm not talking rocket science here.
Wouldn't an e-mail to a list do an equally
good job?
Indeed it would. But if a well-meaning contributor pointed it out on
Wikipedia rather than on the mailing list, what would the problem be
with that?
Actually, no it wouldn't. The talk pages of articles are intended for
community discussion, not simply a discussion with one other editor.
Putting editors in a position to have to discuss a Wikipedia editing
decision off-wiki is absurd.
