[WikiEN-l] Speedy deletion

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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
