Fair enough. Just that at the scale the India program will run at, a
technology solution might very well be a easier first step than human
interventions.
I think sandbox editing before going to mainspace
would work out well here.
But a sandbox in a Chapter hosted wiki doesn't seem right to me, because it
is almost totally disconnected from the ground realities at English
Wikipedia. Also, editing on an enwiki sandbox will enable better feedback
Quite possibly correct. Just wondering about it in terms of DMCA
liability for the WMF and more.
Thank you.
