[WikiEN-l] CSD always backlogged?

[David Goodman]

I too think 40 min is pretty good, as I'm one of the newly added
admins who are working on it. The real junk gets deleted very
fast--the ones with some potential difficulty sometimes stay a few
hours or overnight until someone with more experience takes the
responsibility.

Remember that it is not enough to delete the junk--if the author
hasn't been warned properly (about half the time) he needs to be, so
he doesn't come back for more. --DGG
