[Foundation-l] Renaming "Flagged Protections"

[Ziko van Dijk]

Indeed "revision" and "review" makes the impression that much more is
done than actually is. (Revision = not only a check, but also
alterations, it sounds to me.) I am afraid that is the problem with
pretty much of all the expressions that have been put in forum.

In German Wikipedia, our word "gesichtet" is a little bit strange.
"Sichten" is like spotting a rare animal in the wilderness.

Actually, the subject we should talk about is not an article or a
"revision", but the version that has been changed by an edit.

Kind regards
Ziko
