[WikiEN-l] Not so broken after all, perhaps

[Guy Chapman aka JzG]

I've compared the standard of some current deletion debates with some
from a year back, only informally of course and without much system,
but it seems to me that:

* really obvious deletions are much less common, suggesting that PROD
is doing its job
* blatant spam and band vanity is no longer a significant contributor
to AfD
* quality of debate seems higher, with more references to policy and
guidelines and much less bald !voting
* more contextual knowledge is evident now, suggesting that
categorisation may also be working as intended

One thing which is not fixed: articles towards the end of the AfD day
attract much less input than articles at the beginning of the day.

Does anyone have a good idea for fixing that?
