Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Women in red
I cant believe this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/The_World_…
has
got WMF funding, the idea of trying to create 100,000 stub articles on english wikipedia
without any thought to how it'll impact on the community.
I find it ironic that a competition is being funded to encourage current contributors to
do what we wont accept from new editors. If a new editor was to create an article it
wouldnt pass through the Articles for Creation process because its half the size of the
minimum set there. Many of the competition articles will just get tagged CSD - A1, A7, A9
even G2
While there is a nice bot that will count the size of the prose, there is no automated
process for checking copyright violations, checking for notability and most importantly
checking for BLP with the aim of 100,000 the community will years to clean up the mess
that is about to be created.
we are 15 days from this disaster commencing
