Call from the BBC. I'll be doing a short spot on Chris Evans' drivetime show on Radio 2 this evening about flagged revisions.
Well, that was pleasantly bland! I tried to set out the arguments for and the worries against without being *too* dull and nerdy. How did it sound?

I'll have a listen later if I can. I don't agree with it really, but I suppose if it controls vandalism levels and people (normally contributing users with accounts) are able to approve them, the backlog shouldn't be too bad considering how many good natured volunteers en.wikipedia really has. I would most certainly help!

I'm listening now on iPlayer. Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00gwj03/Chris_Evans_27_01_2009/ (For fellow Beatles fans, they also play a bit of "Magical Mystery Tour")

It starts at 1:26:35, for those not wanting to listen to the whole show...

I just listened to it - you did a good job of explaining such a complex feature to 'outsiders', and probably boosted our reputation too. Well done!

And hopefully didn't offend those against it. (I'm all for it, but quite understand the objections.)
