Sure. We can (OAs) guide the students & can help them in editing kindaa things. But, expecting OAs should keep an eye on the particular student's article & keep tracking them is not a good idea. And, doing it in this way is a small English Wikipedia Admin kindaa thing.
Many OAs including me, are contributing & taking initiatives to develop their language projects, the OA role gives them a burden really. Because I felt it. ONLINE AMBASSADORING IS NOT REALLY ENGLISH WIKIPEDIA ADMINISTRATING ROLE. Because, I indirectly directed to that role only. I really DISLIKE that.
I hear you Surya, and we will keep this in mind.
