I don't think adding a new layer of procedure will help anything;
people who already have the time and such will already be working on
the cleanup category.
Sure.
Let me just take a look...
[[Category:NPOV disputes]] 1800 articles tagged.
[[Category:Articles which may be biased]] 196 articles tagged
[[Category:Accuracy disputes]] 1000 articles tagged
[[Category:Pages needing attention]] 198 articles tagged
[[Category:Possible copyright violations]] 199 articles tagged
Of course, my "urgent request" will be taken care of within the hour.
So modify your reply to the complainer: instead of saying "oh yes, I've
taken care of it personally; you don't need to do anything" try saying "as
per normal Wikipedia procedure I've tagged it for urgent treatment. Please
feel free to help out yourself."
Maybe you can recruit editors this way, and at least they'll start with some
sort of motivation. Obviously someone would want to check that said
motivation didn't carry them away :-)
