I do want to thank everyone who gave input for my BLP question, and a
special nod to Angela who pointed out the archives.  I should have
read those first.


Here is a second issue I would like to discuss, if the group is inclined.

Speedy deletion nominations, I would propose there be a paradigm shift
from our current thinking of "Tag immediately and template the user
talk *right after* creation to something like "don't tag untill an
hour has passed".  I believe this will be less bity and more
encouraging to our users.  To quote something I observed today from
one good editor in reference to our jest over speedy deletions:

"Welcome to wikipedia.  You didn't create a good enough article in
your allotted 60 seconds so we deleted it.  Dont forget to sign your
posts!"

Even though it was in jest, it is true.

I think perhaps it is time we consider enacting (onwiki discussion to
follow if this is well received) something of a one hour rule to
tagging and templating.  We've grown so...


...automated.


Thoughts?

Best,
Jon
