[WikiEN-l] NY Times article on Flagged Revisions

To be fair, that goes for pretty much every explanation of how Flagged
Revisions will work that I've seen/heard. That's because
* no one agrees on the implementation
* the feature itself is confusing even to a long term user who
understands the current system, never mind the general public

The main interest to me is in the comments section, where there is
some indication of what the Wikipedia using masses (and Gregory Kohs)
think. But my absolute favourite is:

"I tried editing an article on Mark Linn-Baker once, adding a edit to
the article to include a credit for his role in the film, "My Favorite
Year". As far as I could tell, the edit complied with all Wikipedia
rules. That edit was immediately deleted. As a result, I believe that
Wikipedia is completely fraudulent and untrustworthy, just like Fox
News, the Republican Party, the Democratic Leadership Council, the
National Enquirer, the Ku Klux Klan Monthly, and the Volkischer
Beobachter"
