[WikiEN-l] Dealing with juvenile vandalism

[Aude]

I've been exceptionally busy today dealing with juvenile vandalism, in
between working on writing articles, and may have issued more blocks today
than any other single day.  The childish behavior is sure getting annoying.

Months back, I remember reading something on this mailing list about some
stable version system or something that provides a delay before anon. edits
go live.  Does anyone know if that is going to happen (ever?) or what's
going on with that?  I don't expect anything anytime soon.

Alternatively, I know that when I go on the German, Italian, and some other
Wikipedias, it seems they have many more pages (obvious vandalism targets)
semi-protected.  Our semi-protection policy says "Articles subject to heavy
and continued vandalism" - what amount of vandalism has to happen to be
considered "heavy and continued"?  The situation is getting to be such that
I would support a somewhat more liberal definition of "heavy and continued"
for pages like Taco, Kyle, or Africa which might not experience vandalism as
badly as George W. Bush or Gay but still experience too much vandalism.

Thoughts?
