One of my reasons to develop Flagged Revs was an
incident with blatant
vandalism in an article about a well known german politician that
persisted for several months until we got an email from his office.
That is plain unacceptable. Flagged revisions work very well in these
cases. However, flagged revisions are not the complete solution, in
particular they do not help persistently against clever POV pushing or
against making articles more unbiased. But: I really like the test
proposal on en-WP to try flagged revs out on BLP articles. Turn it on
for those as soon as possible.
As far as I can make out, the present situation on en:wp is: a
proposal was put which got 59% support. That's not a sufficiently
convincing support level. So Jimbo is currently putting together a
better proposal, with the aim of at least 2/3 support and hoping for
80% - it'll be more robust. Timeframe, er, I just asked him as well.
i.e. we're getting there! Inch by inch!
