I know what it is like to be in a dustbin.


Hello again, CW.  It has been a while since we last spoke...

I do agree with CW in the way that flagrev could be applied here to
BLP articles. this is the one area where articles may have a clear and
present impact on the lives of people.  While I don't like any of the
proposed solutions, I agree, something must be done.  I am willing to
accept flagged revisions in the interim.  Perhaps if it goes well on
BLP  articles, an argument could be made to  apply it elsewhere.
