Thanks for the links! I find this interesting since I was having a lot of trouble understanding an IEG proposal that I was reviewing: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Stepwise_Disclosure_Edition:_Wiki...
Most people on the English Wikipedia have no problem hitting the edit button, and a quick review of the talk page on Superspreader shows that all of the people posting comments there feel totally comfortable doing just that *except* for the student whose edits are under review. Thanks to this case, I am now able to imagine a situation where this IEG proposal functionality could be relevant. I believe this particular superspreader case proves that publishing in "one blob" like the student has done can potentially be disruptive, which is interesting and puts that proposal into a totally new perspective for me.
I would in fact say that this case proves that the functionality in the IEG proposal is, in fact, undesirable.

The discussion is located at the talk page for the article in question. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Super-spreader
Just to clear up where the significant on-wiki attention took place at (my first guess was User Talk:Malke 2010).
Thank you,
Derric Atzrott

This now has gotten significant on-wiki attention.
List relevant but less important on-wiki (I hope) complicating factor - the editor who was felt to possibly be OWNing the article is User:Malke 2010", a female Wikipedian...

Hey folks,
On my phone, so I haven't read the talk page in question. But it looks like a new female editor might be having a tough time on this article: maybe somebody has time to step in and take a look?
Thanks, Sue
