Shortcut: [[WP:BLPP]]
There's a talk page with lots and lots of discussion. I've just added to WP:BLPP an outline of the simple patrolling process we've been discussing on WP:BLPN and on wikien-l. I've broken it down into:
1. Simple edit patrolling (like RC patrol/vandal patrol, except for living bios) - catch suspect unreferenced changes - "related changes" on [[Category:Living people]] runs about 10 edits/minute. 2. Simple category maintenance (making sure every living bio in en: is in [[Category:Living people]] and has {{WPBiography}} on the talk page), so as to make 1. easier. 3. More difficult cases (possible problematic content it would take too long for a patroller to deal with on the spot)
1 and 2 could benefit from software assistance (hence this being cc'd to wikitech-l) - the edit patrolling could likely use similar tools to present RC/vandalism patrol, and a bit of javascript to add the category and template with one click would be useful.
Any ideas? Does this look good/bad?
On one end I haven't time to patrol and on the other I'm not a coder, but I have an interest in that this comes up in *every* media contact I've had recently ... so getting something effective into place that's simple enough to be workable would be very good for us and our readers!
