German Wikipedia has had pending changes implemented *globally*, in all articles, for
several years now. Unlike en:WP, where numbers of active editors have dropped
significantly since 2007, numbers of active editors in de:WP have remained stable:
There may well be cultural differences, reflected in the greater support the pending
changes concept has gained in the de:WP community in general, but it is still a striking
result.

James, we don't want to cater to the academic community,
but to
everyone, and seeing our edits go live immediately was the
thing that
made Wikipedia very attractive, its strength and its
weakness. We
should need a very clear consensus to change that, and the
polls so
far have not shown a strong consensus.
This isn't Nupedia or Citizendium, and any attempt to nudge
us in that
direction, which is what PC is, has the potential to damage
us.
