Hi Milos
I am not quite sure I follow. "Those who like would have to go to diffs" ? "which would leave the button to more engaged editors"?
I personally find the "like button" on Facebook the dumbest idea ever - it means you are too stupid or too lazy to think up anything and just go around clicking "like" all over the place. It impoverishes the process, as where there is a "like" there could have been a enriching comment. For a beautiful photo, yes, for an intelligent quotation, yes, but for everything else, leave a comment or leave it alone. What does the like refer to? If I add "police beat up protesters", and someone comes along and "likes" it, does the "like" refer to: 1. the police beating up the protesters? ("I support them!") 2. me contributing the information - regardless of its quality? ("this is news to me") 3. the fact that the information was good and well constructed? ("this is well written") See the point?

Thinking loudly: I think that something like like button for edits would give more reasons to continue with editing. Those who like would have to go to diffs, which would leave the button to more engaged editors and thus almost strictly internal community issue. Could be discussed more about options and technical implementation.
Thoughts?
