Jimbo did spend a lot of time going through the edits so he could figure out what is going on. That is what takes the time. And discussing what is really the right thing to do.

The Arbitrators should become "moderators". When a moderator becomes aware of an issue, he should try to resolve it by communicating with the party or parties concerned. If he cannot, he should simply go to the other moderators and say (in effect): "The facts are such and such. Here is what I have tried to resolve it; but it hasn't worked. I propose that we impose such-and-such sanction. The other moderators should then just vote over the course of a few days, and the decision should be implemented. There is no need for the deliberation to be formal, long, or even public. Decisions should just be announced on the Administrator noticeboard, which is also where people might go to get the Moderators attention for problems. There would probably need to be some system so that several Moderators didn't work the same problems and get in each other's way. The process should be very fast with a minimum of nonsense. The AC replaces Jimmy and I am sure that Jimmy didn't go through all of this laughable legaiistic claptrap when he was making his decisions. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
