Do you know of anyplace I could find out what our current practices are?
 I hunted around a bit and deletion review was the only policy page I
could find that mentioned the issue one way or another. If it's
inaccurate I should correct it.

In your previous post all you said was "Analysis has been done, results
will be published." Who's doing the analysis? Is there any indication of
where and when will the results be published? Finding out anything about
what's been going on with this "experiment" has been like pulling teeth,
it's nine months in now and this is the first time I've heard even this
much.

It's my own inability to find out any of these details myself that I'm
more worried about.
