How about giving admins the ability to throw up a "Please read this" message.
Something like this:
- User submits an edit
- Wikipedia accepts the edit, and...
- Sends user to a "You have an urgent administrative message" page.
User can then:
- Click on the "Read message" button, or
- Just ignore it
We can think of variations, like, send the user directly to the message page, rather than the "you have a message waiting". Another, for egregious cases, would send the user to the "message waiting" or 'please acknowledge this' page after EVERY edit, until the click an OKAY button.
Sounds good, but we'd still have trouble contacting the AOLer who's been writing pages consisting only of someone's birthdate.
