Most cases of articles not receiving attention are due to the people who
could handle it either aren't online at the time such vandalism occurs or
simply don't know the article exists.

I have multiple biographies of living people on my watchlist and I can give
it attention, but I can't check that list for vandalism 24/7. Anyway, I
don't think cutting otherwise okay articles is the way to deal with this.
That's like giving in to the vandals.

I am still waiting for Stable Versions.
